The US government wanted to expand into Florida because the Seminole were harboring the US formerly enslaved people.

The Spanish couldn't keep proper control of the Florida territory and ended up ceding  Florida to the United States in the Transcontinental Treaty, better known as the Adams- Onio Treaty of 1819. Before the US took possession of the territory, the United States government encountered the resistance of the Seminole Native American tribe that inhabited Florida and it started a series of three wars, just called Seminole Wars. The first one from 1816 to 1819. The second one form 1835 to 1942. And the third one from 1855 to 1858.
