El Presidente Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana was the self proclaimed dictator of Mexico in 1853 when he made a land deal with the United States. The USA was thinking of a transcontinental railway that would begin in New Orleans and head for the West coast in California. Under the auspices of US President Franklin Pierce, US negotiator James Gadsden made a deal with Santa Ana for a piece of Mexican land that was 460 miles long and 130 miles wide. The price was $10 million which came to 53 cents per acre. Many Mexicans did not like the deal and it helped shorten the rule of Santa Ana.
The deal was called the Gadsden Purchase.
