The Gadsden Purchase of 1853, which involved the U.S. acquisition of land from Mexico, had several positive effects, including facilitating the construction of a southern transcontinental railroad and solidifying U.S. territorial claims in the Southwest. However, it also had negative consequences, such as exacerbating tensions between the North and South over the expansion of slavery and contributing to the marginalization of Native American populations in the region. Overall, the purchase played a significant role in shaping U.S. expansionist policies and its geopolitical landscape.
