The territory known as Gadsden's Purchase was a small piece of land on the Mexican-US border. The US needed the land as it believed the transcontinental railway would start in New Orleans and run west to California.
In 1853, the United States acquired a significant portion of land through the Gadsden Purchase. This territory, which included parts of present-day southern Arizona and New Mexico, was purchased from Mexico for $10 million. The acquisition aimed to facilitate the construction of a southern transcontinental railroad and is named after James Gadsden, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico at the time.
