In 1818, Andrew Jackson crossed into Spanish Florida without a formal declaration of war.
Within three years, Spain signed away the territory without receiving a single dollar in return.
This documentary traces how Florida became the weakest wall of a collapsing empire — and how a series of quiet decisions, failed defenses, and diplomatic pressure made its loss inevitable.
Rather than a sudden conquest, Florida was absorbed through gradual occupation, collapsing supply lines, and a final treaty that recorded what had already happened on the ground.
By the time the Adams–Onís Treaty was signed, Florida no longer belonged to Spain in any meaningful sense.
The paper only confirmed what history had already decided.
