The Gadsden Purchase was finalized in 1853. It gave the US possession of a small strip of land previously owned by Mexico. At the time many in the US thought that a transcontinental railway would begin in New Orleans and terminate in California. Santa Anna of Mexico made the agreement that was highly unpopular in Mexico. James Gadsden was the negotiator for the US. President Franklin Pierce signed the agreement for $10 million.

∙ 7y agoIt was known as the Gadsden Purchase. It included present-day New Mexico and Arizona south of the Gila River, for $10,000,000. Although it was "sold" for that amount, in reality it was credited against Mexico's debt towards the United States:
Mexican president Santa Anna was pressured by James Gadsden, who was the American ambassador in Mexico at the time. Gadsden threatened Santa Anna for another military invasion, this time to take more of Mexico's territory including the whole Baja California peninsula and all territories north of the 22° N parallel. After bitter negotiations, Santa Anna surrendered the Mesilla Valley, which conforms present-day southern New Mexico and Arizona.
