22 févr. 1819 - Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819
Description:
A US-Spain land deal in which the Spanish ceded the territory of Florida to the US, as they could not afford to keep the territory around for fear of revolution. In return, the US ceded claims to Texas (for the time being). The border between Spanish colonies and the US was clearly defined. The treaty ended when Mexico gained independence, but the border from this treaty was kept in an 1828 US-Mexico treaty titled the Treaty of Limits.Ajouté au bande de temps:
