US Buys Florida from Spain for $5 Million: The Adams-Onís Treaty
Spain cedes Florida to the United States for five million dollars, instantly resolving decades of border disputes and removing Spanish military presence from the southeastern frontier. This transfer secures a continuous American territory stretching from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, setting the stage for rapid southern expansion.
