Loyalists Dbq
A cannot be correct, because even though Congress agreed to “earnestly recommend” that the Loyalists’ confiscated property should be returned much of their land, money, and resources went to the Patriots. The Loyalists’ rights were not protected as many of them were abused and executed by the Patriots, causing the majority of the Loyalists to flee to Florida and later Canada or British Caribbean islands. The treaty did not protect the rights of the Loyalists.
B is incorrect, because the treaty was ambiguous regarding America’s northern and southern borders. So Britain was able to give Florida back to the Spanish. This turned out to be disappointing to the Loyalists trying to flee to there, because they did not want to swear allegiance to the

    6. To Sir William Wentworth: While I agree in full with the mercantilist acts you encourage, it may not be ideal to impose them now as they will only encourage a mob mentality protest against them since the colonists have been enjoying their “Salutary Neglect.” How might you suggest I and the other loyalist leaders enforce theses acts while not allowing these protests to become viable threats to us?…

    Americans were interested in further expansion and looked to the weak Spanish provinces of East and West Florida. The Spanish were reluctant to give up what is now Florida, but in the end they worked out an agreement called the Adams Onis Treaty. In this essay I will describe how the Americans eventually got these provinces, the set backs of the signing of the treaty, and how it effected the economic growth of our nation.<br><br>Americans living in West Florida between the Iberville and Perdido Rivers declared their independence, and President Madison ordered the Governor of New Orleans Territory to take control of the independent land. The Americans now had control over half the territory they wanted but this did not satisfy them, this only made them more eager to gain control of East Florida. Almost two years after this event peace concluded, but Spain still had possession of East Florida. This time Spain only had two solutions to avoid a shameful political break down over this region. One was to gain support of a European ally, and the second was to get some form of honor in this event by winning some of the United States best land else where in North America. The first plan fell through, Britain and other European nations refused to help Spain. They eventually fell to having discussions with the United States.<br><br>The American government was entirely willing to have discussion of the East Florida issue become the end result of all Spanish-American boundary questions. John Quincy Adams was the Secretary of State and was the person taking care of all discussions between the U.S. and Spain. He saw that this was a perfect time to try to extend the boundary to the Pacific Ocean. <br><br>Luis de Onís was the minister of Spain at the time and he was the Spanish representative to the U.S. His instructions from the Spanish government was to transfer the Florida's to the United States in return for the American settlement west of the Mississippi. Onis was also to get…

    The town meeting that was held a week ago was confusing but exciting at the same time. Loyalists and Patriots were arguing their opinions of colonial independence. The loyalists wanted to prevent the colonial independence movement but the patriots wanted that independence. So because of the movement, patriots and loyalists began arguing and debating. Some didn’t get to say what they were going to say and some had their chance. I think the patriots had better arguments, because they were more concise about the debates, such as the “taxation without representation and the Stamp Act.” The loyalists also had good arguments such as “taxes were paid in order to protect colonies.”…

    Originally extending over what is now the southeastern United States, but with no defined boundaries, Florida was a component of the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the expansion of the Spanish Empire. Wide-ranging expeditions were mounted into the surrounding area during the 16th century, but Spain never exercised complete control over Florida outside an area of what is now the State of Florida, southern Georgia, southern Alabama, southern Mississippi southeastern Louisiana, and other areas along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Spanish Florida was considered a failure because the Spanish Empire could not continue to rule over Florida. By 1763, Florida was willingly given to the English in exchange for Havana, showing how unimportant Florida really was to the Spanish. When Spain regained rule over Florida in 1783, nothing could slow down the coming failure of Spain’s first period. Half a century later, Florida was given up once more, but this time it was to the United States.…
