John Quincy Adams: Diary Entries on the Adams-Onís Treaty

( 1819 ) Commentary by M. Philip Lucas, Cornell College
  • “I rejoined that it was notorious that the Floridas had always been a burden instead of a benefit to Spain; that, so far as her interest was concerned, to obtain five millions of dollars for them would be a bargain for Onis to boast of, instead of being ashamed.” - Diary Entries on the Adams-Onís Treaty
