Answer 1

The correct response to how the First Seminole War influenced U.S. acquisition of Florida is: Spain realized it had little control over its land and agreed to sell it.

The First Seminole War (1817-1818) highlighted Spain's inability to manage the territory and effectively control conflicts arising from Native American resistance, leading to the eventual Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819 where Spain ceded Florida to the United States.
