To accurately match descriptions to their corresponding locations on the map based on historical context, here are some general insights:

A. Territory shared under the Convention of 1818: This refers to the area around the 49th parallel, which was established as a joint occupation area between the United States and Britain, particularly in the Oregon Territory.

B. Territory granted to the United States in Adams-Onis Treaty: This was the territory known as Florida, which Spain ceded to the United States in 1819.

C. Boundary of United States agreed to in the Convention of 1818: This is also related to the 49th parallel, but it specifically delineated the boundary between U.S. territory and British territory north of the Louisiana Purchase.

D. Boundary of United States agreed to in the Adams-Onis Treaty: This refers to the boundary between the U.S. and Spanish territory, effectively determining the western limits of the Louisiana Purchase and marking the border of Florida.

To drawn a conclusion regarding the specific locations on the map you have, you would look for:

  • The 49th parallel for both A and C
  • The southern boundary of the U.S. for B (Florida) and D (Spanish territory).
