The Story Continues CHAPTER 8, The Jefferson Era (1800–1815) PEOPLE 1810: West Florida’s ownership is under question. Although President James Madison and former Presi- dent omas Je erson both thought that West Florida had been included in the Louisiana Purchase, France and Spain insisted that West Florida had been excluded from the agreement. After American rebels took control of West Florida in September of 1810, President Madison took advantage of the situation and issued a proclamation on October 27, 1810, allowing the United States to occupy the region.
