How did Spain’s territories in North America change as a result of Pinckney’s Treaty?

Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands south of Florida and west of the Mississippi.

Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands west of New Orleans and north of Florida.

Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands north of Florida and east of the Mississippi.

Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands east of the Mississippi including New Orleans.

Answer 1

Correct answer is Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands north of Florida and east of the Mississippi.

Step-by-step explanation:

First option is wrong because there is no territory south of Florida that was an issue between two countries.

Second one also is wrong because Spain couldn't claim territories to the North of Florida, or west of New Orleans, as they were not part of the dispute and were American territories.

Third option is correct as the Spaniards dropped claims on all territories east of Mississippi, without Florida, of course.

Fourth option is wrong as New Orleans remained in the hands of Spain.
