The American ambassador to Mexico, James Gadson purchased large tracts of land for the American government, in southern Arizona and New Mexico to facilitate the expansion of the transcontinental railway and also to reconcile outstanding border disputes.
The Gadsden Purchase was engineered by US President Franklin Pierce, and mainly negotiated by James Gadsden. It was an expensive deal when compared to the Louisiana Purchase. Behind this land acquisition was the intent to build a transcontinental railroad. Some proposed the rail head would be New Orleans and then west to California. The price was $10 million. Not all Americans nor Mexicans liked this deal.
