James Long was angry about the Adams-Onis Treaty because it ceded Florida to the United States while simultaneously recognizing Spanish claims to Texas, which he believed undermined American expansionist ambitions. Long, a filibuster and advocate for Texan independence, felt that the treaty betrayed the interests of those seeking to expand U.S. territory and promote settlement in Texas. He was particularly frustrated by the lack of support for Texan independence from the U.S. government, which he saw as crucial for the development of the region.
