España | Florida - Foundation 500 Años

			Legacy: Spain and the United States in the Age of Independence, 1763-1848, highlights the relationship between Spain and the United States over an eighty-five-year period that was marked by transformative events in the Americas and Europe. The 1763 Treaty of Paris, which ended the French and Indian War in America, dramatically changed the political landscape in this country. This is a exhibition by the Smithsonian Institution. Terms of the treaty left two major European competitors with significant colonial holdings on the continent: Great Britain to the east of the Mississippi River, and Spain to the west. This geographic bifurcation set the stage for future conflicts, negotiations, border shifts, intrigue, pacts, alliances, and battles (fought domestically and abroad) between these two countries, the young American republic, the French, and the indigenous Native American nations. The portraits, maps, documents, and treaties in this exhibition illustrate moments of significant political and economic intersection between Spain and the United States. “Legacy” highlights the crucial Spanish contributions to the American cause during the Revolutionary War; details the subsequent diplomatic relationships focused on territorial rights and boundaries; and reveals the presence and influence of Hispanic culture in Florida, Louisiana, California, and the Southwest in the formative and early years of the American republic.
