No, that wasn't even a war aim given that Florida was ruled by Spain at the time. They had recovered it from Britain in the settlement of the American Revolutionary War in 1783. The United States acquired Florida from Spain in the Adams-Onis treaty of 1819 for $5,000,000 and renunciation of any claim that Texas might have been included in the Louisiana Purchase.
