In 1810, America gained control over West Florida through a combination of local insurrection and diplomatic maneuvering. American settlers in the region, frustrated with Spanish rule, declared independence from Spain and established the Republic of West Florida. The U.S. government, under President James Madison, quickly recognized the new republic and sent troops to support the revolutionaries. Subsequently, in 1812, the U.S. formally annexed the territory, integrating it into the Louisiana Purchase.
