The Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, also known as the Transcontinental Treaty, was an agreement between the United States and Spain that resolved territorial disputes between the two nations. Under the treaty, Spain ceded Florida to the U.S. and defined the boundary between the U.S. and New Spain (now Mexico). In return, the U.S. assumed responsibility for certain claims of American citizens against Spain, amounting to approximately $5 million. This treaty helped solidify U.S. territorial expansion and reduced tensions between the two countries.
