Best Answer

the main reason to why Spain ceded FL to the US was because the Latin American revolution that was happening there, then came the Mexican revolution which the Spainish government had to retake Mexico. FL was a lose cause for them due to their inability to protect the land that they had claimed from the US and the Indians.
