I want to say fake and gay, but the Spaniards did have a hell of a Navy back then, so...

Florida had become a burden to Spain, which could not afford to send settlers or man garrisons, so Madrid decided to cede the territory to the United States in exchange for settling the boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Spanish Texas. The treaty established the boundary of U.S. territory and claims through the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean, in exchange for Washington paying residents' claims against the Spanish government up to a total of $5 million Spanish dollars[7] (purchasing power equivalent to US$99,500,000 in 2023) and relinquishing the U.S. claims on parts of Spanish Texas west of the Sabine River and other Spanish areas, under the terms of the Louisiana Purchase.

California, Hawaii, and Alaska also had Russian settlements.

So we get to blame the spics for stealing the "indigenous peoples" lands and destroying the Indians with foreign diseases etc?

Awesome.

Not the white man!

You know Spain is part of Europe, right knucklehead? The swarthy looking Spaniards are generally either Muslim half bred products of rape or sephardic kikes. Northern Spain is and was full of White people. Also, Filipinos weren't a thing until after California was discovered by Spain. They're literally Spaniards/Asian Pacific mutts. That's why they're nuttier than squirrel shit.
