The Florida Cession, also known as the Adams-Onís Treaty, was purchased from Spain in 1819 for $5 million. Negotiated by U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, the treaty resolved territorial disputes between the U.S. and Spain and ceded Florida to the United States. In return, the U.S. agreed to assume $5 million in claims by American citizens against Spain, solidifying American control over Florida and establishing boundaries for westward expansion. The treaty was ratified in 1821, officially transferring Florida to the U.S.
