The compromise of 1850
Actually, many Americans were not in support of the war, and they saw it as an example of a powerful country having its way with a weaker country. Mexico was forced to relinquish a huge amount of land for the laughable price of thirty million dollars. Later, the US made the Gasden Purchase from Mexico, buying a much smaller tract of land for the high price of ten million dollars. The Gasden Purchase has been called "conscience money" on the part of the US for its earlier treatment of Mexico.
In exchange for the land the United States paid up to $20 million to Mexico and assume up to $3 million in U.S. citizens' claims against Mexico.
