Best Answer

In the late 1700s, the territory that Spain owned in North America was much of North America west of the Mississippi River and claimed Florida and the port of New Orleans. This posed a problem for the U.S. because the New Orleans port was key to trade and sometimes the Spanish threatened to close it.
