The treaty of Paris
Florida was gained when President James Monroe asked Andrew Jackson to look into problems the Georgians had with the Seminole Indians. Instead of looking into it, Jackson invaded Florida and overthrew the Spanish government. Spain then agreed to sell Florida to the United States rather than fight. In 1819, the United States bought Florida for $5 Million.

It was when Spain gave Florida to the U.S. because controlling Florida was becoming too much trouble
When Spain had control of Florida, the Americans sent Andrew Jackson to stop Spain from attacking, instead, he took full control of Florida and Spain gave it over the USA in a treaty.

The state of Florida was never purchased by the U.S. It was traded back and forth between nations by a series of treaties and by the U.S. Revolutionary War against Great Britain.In 1763 Spain traded Florida to Great Britain in return for Cuba. Great Britain divided the territory into East Florida and West Florida, which extended all the way to the Mississippi River and north far into Mississippi and Alabama. In 1784, the Treaty of Paris ending the U.S. Revolutionary War returned Florida to Spain, but without describing any boundaries.In 1795, during George Washington's presidency, the Treaty of San Lorenzo set the northern boundary of Florida at the 31st parallel. In 1810, President James Madison claimed West Florida as part of the Louisiana Purchase made by President Thomas Jefferson.In 1819 during the James Monroe presidency, the Adams-Onis Treaty was signed which gave the U.S. possession of Florida beginning in 1821. Florida became an official U.S. Territory in 1822, and became the State of Florida in 1845 at the beginning of James K Polk's presidency.
Spain gave up her claims to Oregon, ceding them to the US. She also gave up Florida to the US.
