John Quincy Adams played a crucial role in acquiring Florida from Spain through skilled diplomacy. He negotiated the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819, which resolved territorial disputes between the United States and Spain, leading to Spain ceding Florida to the U.S. In exchange, the U.S. agreed to assume $5 million in claims by American citizens against Spain and recognized Spanish sovereignty over Texas. Adams's strategic approach emphasized the importance of American expansion while maintaining peaceful relations with Spain.
