The early nineteenth century was a turbulent period in the history of the southeastern United States. The century began with the purchase of the vast Louisiana Territory from the French in 1803. The Florida Territory, however, remained under the control of the Spanish. In 1810, the United States declared that the West Florida Territory had been included in the Louisiana Purchase and was under American jurisdiction. When war with Great Britain broke out in 1812, Americans briefly attempted to occupy East Florida to secure it from the British. In 1814, British troops landed in West Florida and hostilities began that continued even after a peace agreement was reached. The American forces were under the control of Major-General Andrew Jackson. In the years after the War of 1812, hostilities continued between the Americans and the Seminole Indians of Florida. Jackson, believing that the Indians were incited by the Spanish, waged a campaign against the Seminoles in 1817-1818. In 1819, the Spanish formally ceded the Florida Teritory to the United States and an American government was established in 1822.
