    James Monroe became president in 1816 and faced issues with British and Spanish borders. The Rush-Bagot Agreement and Convention of 1818 helped settle borders with Britain in North America. General Jackson invaded Spanish Florida without orders to fight Native Americans and overthrew the Spanish governor, pushing Spain to negotiate. The 1819 Adams-Onis Treaty gave the U.S. Florida in exchange for giving up claims to Texas and set the western border. As Latin American countries gained independence in the 1820s, Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to warn European powers not to interfere in the Americas and consider new colonies acts of war.
