US Purchase
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.
