Why did Spain sign the Adams-onis treaty?
Asked by Wiki User
They really did not have much choice. They were unable or unwilling to commit the resources needed to police Florida and the US had already invaded and taken charge of Northern Florida.
It would have taken a major military effort to make any pretense of recovering Florida by the time of the treaty. Spain needed to strengthen its hold on Mexico and California since the colonists there were beginning to make demands for independence. Spain did not want a war with the United States and took the best deal they could get.

What was the key issue of the Adam Onis treaty?
Asked by Wiki User
Also called the Transcontinental Treaty of 1819, the Adams-Onis Treaty was one of the critical events that defined the U.S.-Mexico border. The border between the then-Spanish lands and American territory was a source of heated international debate. In Europe, Spain was in the midst of serious internal problems and its colonies out west were on the brink of revolution.
Facing the grim fact that he must negotiate with the United States or possibly lose Florida without any compensation, Spanish foreign minister Onis signed a treaty with Secretary of State John Quincy Adams. Similar to the Louisiana Purchase statutes, the United States agreed to pay its citizens' claims against Spain up to $5 Million. The treaty drew a definite border between Spanish land and the Louisiana Territory.
In the provisions, the United States ceded to Spain its claims to Texas west of the Sabine River. Spain retained possession not only of Texas, but also California and the vast region of New Mexico. At the time, these two territories included all of present-day California and New Mexico along with modern Nevada, Utah, Arizona and sections of Wyoming and Colorado.
The treaty -- which was not ratified by the United States and the new republic of Mexico until 1831 -- also mandated that Spain relinquish its claims to the country of Oregon north of the 42 degrees parallel (the northern border of California). Later, in 1824, Russia would also abandon its claim to Oregon south of 54'40,' (the southern border of Alaska.)
What territory was added to the US by the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1819?
Asked by Wiki User
Florida
The Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 (formally titled the Treaty of Amity, Settlement, and Limits Between the United States of America and His Catholic Majesty, and also known as the Transcontinental Treaty of 1819, and sometimes the Florida Purchase Treaty) was a historic agreement between the United States and Spain that settled a border dispute in North America between the two nations. The treaty was the result of increasing tensions between the US and Spain regarding territorial rights at a time of weakened Spanish power in the New World. In addition to granting Florida to the United States, the treaty settled a boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Texas and firmly established the boundary of US territory to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It also had the effect of ending the first and paving the way for the second of the Seminole Wars in Florida.
When put in more simpler terms: The US acquired Florida from Spain.
