Florida was purchased from Spain for $5 million through the Adams-Onís Treaty, which was signed in 1819 and ratified in 1821. This treaty resolved territorial disputes between the United States and Spain and formalized the transfer of Florida to the U.S. The acquisition was part of a broader effort by the U.S. to expand its territory and influence in North America.
