US Purchase

[Bluebell]

I'm trying to find the answer to this quiz question,
' Which American state was bought from Spain $5?'
I know Florida was purchased for $5million from Spain in 1821, but is there another state that was bought for $5, or could this be a typo error? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

The Spanish Cession of 1819 for the sum of $5m was for several pockets of land, including East and West Florida. I suspect it is a typo.

Thank you very much for getting back to me, and for the map site, which was very interesting. I didn't realise how much territory Spain pnce owned in the Sates.
