Detailed explanation-1: -Minister Onís and Secretary Adams reached an agreement whereby Spain ceded East Florida to the United States and renounced all claim to West Florida. Spain received no compensation, but the United States agreed to assume liability for $5 million in damage done by American citizens who rebelled against Spain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Florida had become a burden to Spain, which could not afford to send settlers or garrisons, so the Spanish government decided to cede the territory to the United States in exchange for settling the boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Spanish Texas.
Detailed explanation-3: -After months of negotiations, the Adams-Onís Treaty was signed on February 22, 1819. In the treaty Spain gave East and West Florida to the United States, and the United States agreed to assume claims by citizens of the United States against Spain.
Detailed explanation-4: -The U.S. assumed control of both West and East Florida and recognized Spain as the sovereign of Texas. The U.S. also agreed to pay $5 million in damages for the 1810 uprising, and the Adams-Onis Treaty established the border along the Louisiana Purchase.
