The Adams Onis Treaty for kids: Background History
The colonies of East and West Florida had remained loyal to the British during the Revolutionary War for American independence, but by the 1783 Treaty of Paris the Florida colonies returned to Spanish control.

The lands belonged to Spain and they became a refuge for runaway slaves, fugitive Native American Indians, smugglers, and criminals of all kinds. Once in Florida, fugitives were generally safe and many joined the Seminole Indian tribe.

Some Americans immigrants also moved into West Florida. In 1810, the American settlers in West Florida rebelled, declaring independence from Spain.

The Adams Onis Treaty for kids: Negotiations begin in 1815
The US Government used the rebellion in West Florida to make a claim on the lands. The claim was based on the contention that part of West Florida, from the Mississippi to the Perdido rivers, was part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Negotiations between the U.S. and Spain for the Florida lands began in 1815. The Spanish minister Don Luis de Onís and James Monroe, who was then Secretary of State, led the negotiations. The Spanish suspected the Americans of supporting the rebellion of the West Florida settlers and the talks failed.

● There was also a threat from Great Britain who, in order to increase trade, had proposed that the U.S. and Great Britain should join in a declaration that the Spanish colonies were independent states
● There was a distinct possibility that Spain would lose Florida without any compensation

● To draw a definite border between Spanish land and the Louisiana Territory through the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean
