Best Answer

The Florida Purchase Treaty of 1819 permitted the U.S. to purchase the Florida Territory from Spain, merely by paying the costs of American settler's claims against Spain (5 million dollars). This Treaty came into creation after Andrew Jackson basically invaded the area, and conquered almost everySpanishfort in the area, leaving Spain unable to maintain their claim.
