The Spanish secretly held claim to Louisiana after the Treaty of Fountainbleu (1762), but did not take possession until 1764. It was transferred back to France for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Spain supported the colonials against Great Britain, and gave the US use of the Mississippi River under Pinckney's Treaty (1795). Spain revoked this in 1799, but also temporarily blocked the use of New Orleans from 1799 to 1801 and denied permission to Lewis and Clark for their expedition up the Missouri River.

This moved Thomas Jefferson to initiate the Louisiana Purchase, because France had (again secretly) regained the territory under the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800.

Who would not let the US trade with its Latin American colonies?

Spain historically restricted trade with its Latin American colonies, enforcing a mercantilist system that allowed only Spanish ships to engage in trade with these territories. This regulation limited colonial commerce and ensured that the economic benefits flowed back to Spain. As a result, the colonies were often forced to rely on Spain for goods and were not allowed to trade freely with other nations, including the United States.

What restriction did Spain place om American trade?

Spain imposed several restrictions on American trade, particularly through the Navigation Acts, which mandated that trade between Spain's colonies and other nations could only occur through Spanish ships. This limited the colonies' ability to trade freely with other countries, stifling economic growth and fostering resentment among colonists. Additionally, Spain often enforced monopoly practices on certain goods, further controlling the flow of commerce. These restrictions contributed to rising tensions that eventually played a role in the fight for independence in many Spanish colonies.
