treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is a really well know history that occur here in California, for some people it well be Mexico because we must all know that years ago this was not California it was Mexico. With the treaty this became California but I believe that we should all be informed of where we live and where we grow up and it's history, I believe this because we all should have some knowledge of things that we consider important to us. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was something really important to Mexico and the United States because the treaty was an option for a peaceful ending of the war. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war on February 2, 1848, the treaty was the one that shaped the history of Mexico and United States. In the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo the is 18 articles and the 1 article says “There shall be firm and universal peace between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic, and between their respective countries, territories, cities, towns, and people, without exception of places or persons.” They (the United States and Mexico) did end the war in peace but their counties, territories, cities, towns, and people didn't have the peace they needed. The reason why they didn't have the peace they wanted was because when the war ended the United States end with the moral superiority and took the stand of manifest destiny and took almost half of Mexico. Therefore the peace that everyone wanted was not there because after the United States had what they want they came up with the citizenship that basically meant that only the citizens where able to go be the the United States and the Mexicans had to be in the Mexico and couldn't pass what is know known as the border. The borders where made of 53 markers and of stones. The United States took control of everything that was once Mexico in the summer of 1846. Persistent Polk said that it was time that Mexico had its own independence but in reality he

    During the middle of the 18th century, the relationship between the Americans and the Mexican-Americans soured more than ever before. The Mexican- Americans realized that something had to be done about the second class treatment they had been receiving for over a century. The Treaty of Guadalupe, ending the Mexican-American war, was the peace treaty calling for the United States to pay the Mexican government 15 million dollars. This pay was in exchange of the ownership of California, and a large area comprising New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Mexicans, whom remained in the U.S. new territory, had the option under…

    The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was signed on February 2nd , 1848, it was an endorse by both the U.S and the Mexican Congresses. This treaty was for the annexation of the Northern portions of Mexico to the United States. In return, the U.S agreed to pay Mexico $15 million as a compensation for the seized territory. A brave Mexican solider goes explaining the difficulty the United States had in bringing action to the war. The Mexican military was often impaired, at least when it was compared to the American leadership. And in many of the battles, the high-ranking cannon of the United States ordnance divisions and the ingenious tactics of their officers turned the tide against the…

    The Mexicans were robbed of their land, their peace, and their laws. America hurt Mexico because of the things it took. In Document A we saw that Americans said that they took Texas. Mexico felt as if they had been robbed. Land had been stolen from them and they were not okay with it.The United States stole Texas because they did not pay for it. Mexico was not okay with them taking it either. This implies that the US took what did not belong to them which means that they stole the land. The Americans also robbed the Mexicans from their peace. Before America showed up in their lands they had an amount of peace. They were not worried about their borders. Then Americans showed up and their peace left because it was replaced by war. They now had…

    Around the 1840s, the US aspired to annex Texas and incorporate it as a state within the Union. However, gaining Texas had its consequences as it lead a war with Mexico. William Ellery Channing, an abolitionist and pacifist, saw that the policy regarding obtaining Texas would led the “nation into war” as it severed as “encroachment,” and a way “to propagate the curse of slavery.” (Doc 2) The annexation of Texas was seen invading Texas’ link to Mexico as in document one, the American Review stated the annexation “shall dissolve the slight bounds that now link the province to Mexico” (Doc 1) This served as a situation for Mexico, who had refused to recognize Texas’ independence and its takeover by the United States, although President James Polk, a strong supporter of the annexation of Texas as seen in his Inaugural Address- where he stated “none can fail to see the danger to our safety and future peace if Texas remains an independent states,” attempted to aid Mexico in coming to an understanding. Therefore, the Mexican War broke out, out of the effort for Texas to break free its bond to Mexico. Eventually, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, and came to an agreement that included setting boundaries for Texas and the acquisition of new territory- California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona,…

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is an agreement, signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, which is a city north from the capital of Mexico, between the United States and Mexico that marked the end of the Mexican War. With the defeat of the troops and the fall of the Mexican capital on September 1847, the Mexican government surrendered to the United States and wanted negotiations between the United States to end the war. Signing the treaty was only the beginning of the process because it still had to be approved by the congresses of both the United States and Mexico. No one could tell how the Polk administration would receive a treaty negotiated by an unofficial agent, and could they know the goods and the negative things of the Mexican political scene for the next few months. In both the U.S. and Mexican governments there was opposition to the treaty. In the United States, the northern abolitionists opposed the annexation of Mexican territory. In the Mexican congress, a sizable minority was in favor of continuing the fight. Both countries ratified the document. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the end of the war.…

    The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war in 1848 and under this treaty the United States gained about 900,000 square miles of land and additional 30,000 square miles purchased for 10 million dollars. Today, this makes up southwestern states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, parts of Colorado. Close to 80,000 Mexicans chose to stay with the land and the U.S. promised to give rights to the Mexicans who remained in the new territories of New Mexico, Texas and California after two years. These Mexicans were supposed to become full U.S. citizens and be given the privileges of the citizenship. Most of the promises were not kept or honored by the United States. Instead, individual states decided which Hispanic Americans were given the right to vote and participate in other benefits of citizenship. In some states, the Hispanic Americans that were given rights were the ones who were of Anglo heritage with descendants from white countries. Hispanics from black or Indian heritage were not given the full right of…

    I am an extremely proud Mexican citizen living in a New Mexican territory. I have been given land by the King of Spain and have recently received the details of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The treaty portrays insincerity and presents us with an unjustifiable position. The result of the treaty would put us in an even worse situation than we are in now. My points should be recognized because I am very knowledgeable about the treaty, my family has been living in the territory of New Mexico for many generations, I am a strong follower of God, and I know what is best for Mexico. We, as the country of Mexico, can’t sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo as we will lose much of our land for a small cost, we will not be given U.S. citizenship immediately, and our land grants will not be honored which will lead to an abominable future for the country of Mexico.…
