Early in U.S. history, the United States acquired the Floridas from Spain. South Florida was the Florida peninsula, most of the present-day state. North Florida was the Gulf Coast including the Pensacola area of present-day Florida, plus the coast areas of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
After the Spanish American War of 1898, the United States took possession of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guam, the Philippines and a number of smaller islands. Cuba was quickly made independent and the Philippines was granted independence in 1947. The United States continues to hold most of the other former Spanish territories.
