Planters, who were able to expand plantations and Southern culture into Florida

Answer 2

The planters where the group who benefitted from the U.S. acquisition of Florida from Spain, as they were able to expand plantations and Southern culture into Florida.

After the Adams-Onis Treaty, white settlers began to establish cotton plantations in Florida, which required the work of numerous slaves. 30 years after the acquisition, in 1860, Florida had only 140 424 people, of which 44% were slaves. There were less than a thousand free colored people before the Civil War. In other words, the Southern culture was now part of Florida.
