Answer:

To try to buy Florida

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1700s and early 1800s, Florida was occupied by Spain. However, in 1819, John Quincy Adams and the Spanish minister Do Luis de Onis signed a treaty called the Florida Purchase Treaty, where Spain agreed to let the US buy Florida. In return, certain debts were cancelled for Spain and Spain received tariff privileges.

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
