Question: The Territory of Florida was ceded to the United states as part of a treaty between which two countries ?

<P0-S0>  Originally the Spanish territory of "La Florida", and later the provinces of East and West Florida, it was ceded to the United States as part of the 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty. <P0-S1> The Territory of Florida was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from March 30, 1822, until March 3, 1845, when it was admitted to the Union as the State of Florida. <P0-S2>  It was governed by the Florida Territorial Council. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Treaty of Ghent (8 Stat. <P1-S1>  218 ) was the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812 between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. <P1-S2>  Both sides signed it on December 24, 1814, in the city of Ghent, Belgium. <P1-S3>  The treaty restored relations between the two nations to "status quo ante bellum", restoring the borders of the two countries to the lines before the war started in June 1812. <P1-S4>  The Treaty was approved by the UK parliament and signed into law by the Prince Regent (the future King George IV) on December 30, 1814. <P1-S5>  It took a month for news of the peace treaty to reach the United States, and in the meantime American forces under Andrew Jackson won the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815. <P1-S6>  The Treaty of Ghent was not fully in effect until it was ratified by the U.S. Senate unanimously on February 17, 1815. <P1-S7>  It began two centuries of peaceful relations between the U.S. and Britain, although there were a few tense moments such as the Trent Affair. <SEP> <P2-S0> Chieftains Museum, also known as the Major Ridge Home, is a two-story white frame house built around a log house of 1792 in Cherokee country (today it is within present-day Rome, Georgia). <P2-S1>  It was the home of the Cherokee leader Major Ridge— notable for his role in negotiating and signing the Treaty of New Echota of 1835, which ceded the remainder of Cherokee lands in the Southeast to the United States. <P2-S2>  He was part of a minority group known as the Treaty Party, who believed that relocation was inevitable and wanted to negotiate the best deal with the United States for their people. <P2-S3>  The chiefs had agreed they could not go to war against the United States on the removal issue, but most other Cherokee opposed Ridge and the Treaty Party. <P2-S4>  He and some other members of the Treaty Party were murdered after removal to the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory for having ceded the tribe's communal lands, as this was considered a capital crime. <SEP> <P3-S0>  It settled a standing border dispute between the two countries and was considered a triumph of American diplomacy. <P3-S1>  It came in the midst of increasing tensions related to Spain's territorial boundaries in North America against the United States and Great Britain in the aftermath of the American Revolution; and also during the Latin American Wars of Independence. <P3-S2>  Florida had become a burden to Spain, which could not afford to send settlers or garrisons. <P3-S3> The Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, also known as the Transcontinental Treaty, the Florida Purchase Treaty, or the Florida Treaty, was a treaty between the United States and Spain in 1819 that ceded Florida to the U.S. and defined the boundary between the U.S. and New Spain. <P3-S4>  Madrid decided to cede the territory to the United States through the Adams–Onís Treaty in exchange for settling the boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Spanish Texas. <P3-S5>  The treaty established the boundary of U.S. territory and claims through the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean, in exchange for the U.S. paying residents' claims against the Spanish government up to a total of $5,000,000 and relinquishing the US claims on parts of Spanish Texas west of the Sabine River and other Spanish areas, under the terms of the Louisiana Purchase.
