Question

As a result of the Adams-Onís Treaty, the United States gained which territory from Spain?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Florida

Explanation:

In U.S. history, the Adams-Onis Treaty was a treaty signed in 1819 by the U.S. government and the Spanish government with the purpose of establishing a border between the U.S. and new Spain but also with the purpose of annexing the territory of Florida to the U.S. as this was owned by Spain until 1819. This bilateral treaty ended with disputes for the territory that had developed in previous decades by establishing clear borders between both nations and defining the territories that belonged to each one. Therefore, the territory the United States gained from Spain as a result of the Adams-Onis Treaty was Florida that was ceded by Spain to the U.S. in 1819 when the treaty was signed.
