Between 1812 and 1821, the boundaries of the United States changed primarily through the purchase of the Florida Territory from Spain in 1819 and the admission of new states into the union, including Missouri, which was admitted in 1821. However, the significant purchase of the Louisiana Territory actually occurred earlier, in 1803.
Given your options, the closest correct response would be:
**The U.S. purchased the Florida Territory from Spain and seven states were admitted into the union.**
However, it’s important to note that not exactly seven states were admitted into the union during that specific timeframe; the important point is the purchase of Florida and the admission of new states such as Missouri.
