In 1818, Andrew Jackson led U.S. forces into Florida during the Seminole War. Jackson's invasion was in response to raids and attacks on American settlements by Seminole Indians and their allies. He pursued the Seminoles into Spanish-held Florida, captured forts, and eventually took control of the territory. Jackson's actions ultimately pressured Spain to cede Florida to the United States in the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819.

In 1818, President Andrew Jackson led military forces into Florida to address the issue of Seminole raids into Georgia. His actions resulted in the seizure of Spanish forts and the capture of the influential Seminole leader, Osceola. This military incursion escalated tensions between the United States and Spain, ultimately contributing to the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, in which Spain ceded Florida to the U.S.
The forts along the wall were constructed to prohibit the northern barbarians to attack Chinese border towns.
