  • The Adams-Onís Treaty: Redrawing the Map of North America

    In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, a pivotal agreement between the U.S. and Spain that reshaped North America's borders and power dynamics. We delve into the strategic trade-off of Florida for Texas, the creation of new territorial boundaries along the Sabine, Red, and Arkansas rivers, and the resulting control over the Gulf of Mexico. This treaty's significance not only redefined U.S.-Spanish relations but also set the stage for future American expansion and geopolitical influence.
