The Gadsden Purchase, finalized in 1854, involved the United States acquiring approximately 29,670 square miles of land from Mexico for $10 million. This territory, which is now part of southern Arizona and New Mexico, was intended to facilitate a southern transcontinental railroad route. The purchase was significant in expanding U.S. territory and fulfilling Manifest Destiny.
