Question 2 • AL-United States History I: Beginnings to the Industrial Revolution A-CR

What is one way in which the United States acquired land in Spanish owned Florida?

Answer
A
as part of the Monroe Doctrine
B
as part of the Louisiana Purchase
C
by seizing Mobile
D
by invading Spain in Europe

Explanation

The United States gained control of Spanish Florida through pressure and military actions in the region, including seizing Mobile, a Spanish-held port. The Louisiana Purchase transferred land from France, not Spain, and the Monroe Doctrine was a policy statement rather than a land transfer. The United States did not invade Spain in Europe.
