Adams-Onís Treaty
The
Adams-Onís treaty of
1819 settled border disputes between the
United States and
Spain. In the agreement, the U.S. paid $5 million dollars for the territorial rights of
Florida and relinquished its claims of parts of
Texas and other Spanish areas.
The Adams-Onís treaty manifested through the increasing tensions between the United States and Spain regarding territorial rights, issues that rose primarily in Floridian and Mexican borders.
The diplomacy was complicated.
