Spain also ceded to the U.S. its claims to the Oregon Country, under Article 3 . </P> <P> The U.S. did not pay Spain for Florida, but instead agreed to pay the legal claims of American citizens against Spain, to a maximum of $5 million, under Article 11 . Under Article 12, Pinckney's Treaty of 1795 between the U.S. and Spain was to remain in force . Under Article 15, Spanish goods received exclusive most - favored - nation tariff privileges in the ports at Pensacola and St. Augustine for twelve years . </P> <P> Under Article 2, the U.S. received ownership of Spanish Florida (British East Florida and West Florida 1763--1783). Under Article 3, the U.S. relinquished its own claims on parts of Texas west of the Sabine River and other Spanish areas . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> (show) Map this section's coordinates using OSM Map this section's coordinates using Google </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Export this section's coordinates as KML </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Export this section's coordinates as GPX </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Map all microformatted coordinates </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Place data as RDF </Td> </Tr> </Table>
