In the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, the United States acquired Florida from Spain in exchange for relinquishing its claims to Texas. The treaty formalized the border between the U.S. and Spanish territories, which helped to resolve long-standing disputes and solidify U.S. territorial expansion. By ceding claims to Texas, the U.S. aimed to strengthen its position in the southern region while gaining control over Florida.

What was the territory that Britain returned to Spain as a result of the American Revolution?

As part of the Anglo-Spanish agreement in the Treaty of Paris (1783), the British returned the Mediterranean island of Minorca to Spain, and more importantly the British claim to East Florida and West Florida (now the southeastern US).The British had received Florida from Spain twenty years earlier (1763) after the Seven Years War. The US gradually annexed Florida after the War of 1812 and purchased the remainder under the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1819.As part of the 1783 treaty, Spain ceded Providence Island and the remainder of the Bahamas to the British.


Did America ever get Florida in the war of 1812?

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.
