The Gadsden Purchase is a region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico purchased by the U.S. from Mexico on December 30, 1853, the last of such large territorial acquisitions in the mainland United States. The influence of the railroad industry sought expansion to the pacific coast through the recently acquired territories of the Mexican Cession.

The US Constitution made no provision for purchasing territory nor for conferring US citizenship on the people in that territory. The Louisiana Purchase was the first test. Jefferson, while a strict constructionist of the Constitution, realized the importance of the purchase. He is quoted as saying, ". . . what is practicable must often control what is pure theory." And, he instructed his followers in Congress that "the less we say about constitutional difficulties. . .the better."
