The US gained the territory, Florida when England wanted to expand colonies. In result, England became a threat to Florida and started attacking St. Augustine, not once but multiple times. England, France and Spain started fighting about land. This conflict is known as the Seven Years War and the French and Indian War. In 1763 the Treaty of Paris was signed by England, and England gained the Florida Territory, but when England recognized the colonies' independence (as the United States), the Florida Territory was returned to Spain. After years of border arguments, Spain finally agreed to give the Florida Territory to the U.S. 1819 by signing the Adams-Onis Treaty, signed by Spanish minister Luis de Onis and U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams. More settlers arrived and Tallahassee became the capital. Florida was admitted to the Union in 1845.
