The correct answer is the Transcontinental Treaty. This treaty, also known as the Adams-Onís Treaty, was signed between the United States and Spain in 1819. It established the boundary of the United States and Spanish territory to the south, including Florida. The treaty also defined the western boundary of the Louisiana Purchase and involved land west of the Mississippi River.
The correct answer is the "Transcontinental Treaty."
The correct option that matches all the given descriptions is the "Treaty of Ghent (Belgium)."
To explain how to arrive at this answer, let's analyze each description:
1. "Consisted of land near the Great Lakes": The Northwest Territory was an area that included present-day states near the Great Lakes such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
2. "Involved land west of the Mississippi River": The Louisiana Purchase was a significant land acquisition by the United States from France in 1803, which included the land west of the Mississippi River, covering a large portion of present-day central and western United States.
3. "Described Washington's wishes for the nation": The Farewell Address was a letter written by George Washington, where he expressed his hopes and advice for the future of the United States.
4. "Ended the War of 1812": The Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain.
5. "Established the boundary of the United States and Spanish territory to the south": The Transcontinental Treaty, also known as the Adams-Onís Treaty, was signed in 1819 between the United States and Spain, defining the border between Spanish territories and the United States, including the boundary with Spanish Florida.
6. "Warned European nations against further involvement in the Western Hemisphere": The Monroe Doctrine, declared by President James Monroe in 1823, stated that any further colonization or interference by European nations in the Western Hemisphere would be considered as acts of aggression towards the United States.
7. "Set a boundary for slavery south of Missouri": The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was an agreement that allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, but also established a boundary, the 36°30' parallel, north of which slavery would be prohibited in future territories carved out of the Louisiana Purchase.
Considering all the descriptions, the only option that fits all of them is the "Treaty of Ghent (Belgium)" which ended the War of 1812.
