Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Adams-Onís Treaty, also known as the Transcontinental Treaty of 1819, involved the United States acquiring all of Florida from Spain. In return, the U.S. relinquished any claims to Texas and assumed responsibility for up to $5 million in damages claimed by American citizens against Spain. This agreement helped define the boundary between the U.S. and New Spain (now Mexico) and eliminated a source of tension and conflict between the two nations.
