I'm planning a timeline where Thomas Jefferson wins the 1796 election. In his first term I want the United States to purchase Florida, Cuba, and Louisiana from Spain. Such a purchase would definitely guarentee Thomas Jefferson's re-election in 1800. But what are the chances of America convincing Spain to part with all three of these colonies?
I don't think it would be as difficult to get Spain to part with Florida and Louisiana as it would be to seperate Cuba from the Spanish.
So how can this possibly be done?
