The area sold to the United States for $15 million was the territory of Florida, which was acquired from Spain in 1819 through the Adams-Onís Treaty. The negotiations were led by U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and the treaty was ratified in 1821, officially transferring Florida to the U.S.
