50 years. The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803. And the Gadsden Purchase was in 1853. Many political and US business leaders believed the transcontinental railroad would begin in New Orleans and reach California. The Gadsden Purchase offered land by which the rail link would travel.
With the expansion of the western territories, the concept of the term â??westâ?? became much broader between 1800-1860. Following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the Texas annexation in 1845, the Oregon country, the Mexican cessation and the Gadsden Purchase, the boundaries seemed endless.
At the time, most Mexican people already suspected that Santa Anna had deliberately contributed to Mexico's defeat during the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). Even if Santa Anna successfully fended off a belligerent James Gadsden, who demanded the acquisition of all territories north of the parallel 25 N -- which would have included 40% of the remaining Mexican territories after the Mexican-American War -- the treaty was deemed as treason by the Mexican people, resulting in the Revolution of Ayutla (1854 - 1855) and eventually, the Plan of Ayutla (1854) which ousted Santa Anna for good. Having being exiled from Mexico for 19 years, it wasn't until 1874 that Santa anna returned to Mexico, dying of old age two years later.
A strip of United States territory along southern New Mexico and Arizona bought from Mexico in 1853. It is named for James Gadsden, ambassador to Mexico from 1853-56, who negotiated the treaty which included the terms of the purchase. The cost was $10,000,000 and also included the settlement of various claims by Mexico against the United States.
I guess you really mean the Mexican War of Independence. There were 14 years between both conflicts.
I guess you mean New Mexico. Most of it was acquired at the end of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), when Mexico was forced to cede the New Mexico territories north of the Mesilla Valley. A few years later, at the Gadsden Purchase (1953) all the remaining southern territories were purchased from Mexico.
It was during the Mexican American war during 1846 and 1848. Mexico believed that Texas was apart of their territory and the US believed it part of theirs. As you can image conflict broke out about the entire situation. This led to the Beginning of the war. America won the war and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was the result America winning. According to the treaty Mexico had to not only give up Texas but also the "Mexican Territory" (now known as California, New Mexico, Arizona).
