Final answer:
The territories marked on the map are the Louisiana Territory (A), Oregon or British Cession (B), and Florida (C). The map can be found on the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The map you sent me shows the United States in 1803, just after the Louisiana Purchase. The territories marked with letters are:
- A: Louisiana Territory: This was the vast tract of land that the United States bought from France in 1803 for $15 million. It doubled the size of the United States and stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
- B: Oregon Country: This was the area between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, north of the Spanish claims in California. It was jointly claimed by the United States and Great Britain until 1846, when the Oregon Treaty established the border at the 49th parallel.
- C: Florida: This was a Spanish colony at the time, but it was ceded to the United States in 1819.
Correct answer:
- A. Louisiana Territory
- B. British Cession (Oregon)
- C. Florida
