Gadsden Purchase.
Background
Under U.S. President
John Tyler, The Republic of Texas was admitted to the Union on March 1,
1845. It became the 28th state later that year under President James K. Polk. The Mexican government had long warned that annexation meant war with the United States, and had never recognized the Republic of Texas as an independent state.
United Kingdom and France, which both recognized the independence of Texas, repeatedly tried to dissuade Mexico from declaring war against its neighbor. British efforts to mediate were fruitless in part because additional political disputes (particularly the Oregon boundary dispute) arose between Mexico, Britain and the United States.Before the outbreak of hostilities, on November 10, 1845, the United States president James K. Polk had sent negotiator John Slidell to Mexico to offer the country around $5 million for the territory of Nuevo México, and up to $40 million for
Alta California.Bronwyn Mills U.S.-Mexican war p. 23 ISBN 0816049327 Mexican members of government had simply dismissed Slidell, refusing to even meet with him because they were greatly insulted by such an offer. This is because earlier that year Mexico had broken off diplomatic relations with the
United States over the annexation of Texas, which Mexico had warned would be considered an Casus belli if passed by the US Congress. Mexico's basis for this was partly a condition of the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 — which politically independent Mexico had inherited — in which the US had relinquished all claims to Mexican territory, ad infinitum.Adams-Onis Treaty, Article III. Full text available at http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/spain/sp1819.htm After this snub Polk, an expansionist, himself took insult and actively sought to provoke war with Mexico. "We were sent to provoke a fight, but it was essential that Mexico should commence it." Personal memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, Volume I. Chapter IV"It looks as if the government sent a small force on purpose to bring war, so as to have a pretext for taking California and as much of this country(Mexico) as it chooses." Diary of Colonel
Ethan A. Hitchcock (general)After the Thornton Affair, a skirmish between Mexican and American troops which took place on disputed territory near the
Rio Grande (see the
Treaties of Velasco), President Polk signed a
declaration of war into effect on May 13, 1846, almost two months before the Mexican congress was forced to formally declare war on July 1.
The war in Mexico's Northern territories largely ended on January 13, 1847, with the signing of the Treaty of Cahuenga.
Mexico's subsequent defeat left them with little choice but to accept the United States' demands, or risk

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
The treaty was signed by Nicholas Trist on behalf of the United States and Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto and Miguel Atristain as
plenipotentiary representatives of Mexico on
February 2 1848, at the main altar of the old Cathedral of Guadalupe at Villa Hidalgo (today
Gustavo A. Madero, D.F.), slightly north of Mexico City as U.S troops under the command of General Winfield Scott were occupying Mexico City.
Changes to the treaty and ratification
The version of the treaty ratified by the United States Senate eliminated Article Xhttp://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/ghtreaty/, which stated that the U.S. government would honor and guarantee all land grants awarded in lands ceded to the United States to citizens of Spain and Mexico by those respective governments. Article VIII guaranteed that Mexicans who remained more than one year in the ceded lands would automatically become full-fledged American citizens (or they could declare their intention of remaining Mexican citizens); however, the Senate modified Article IX, changing the first paragraph and excluding the last two. Among the changes was that Mexican citizens would "be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of by the Congress of the United States)" instead of "admitted as soon as possible," as negotiated between Trist and the Mexican delegation. The treaty was subsequently ratified by the United States Senate by a vote of 38 to 14 on
March 10,
1848 and by the Mexican government by a
legislative vote of 51 to 34 and a Mexican Senate vote of 33 to 4, on May 19,
1848.
Protocol of Querétaro
On May 26 1848, when the two countries exchanged ratifications of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, they further negotiated a three-article protocol to explain the amendments. The first article stated that the original Article IX of the treaty, although replaced by Article III of the
Louisiana purchase, would still confer the rights deliniated in Article IX. The second article confirmed the legitimacy of land grants pursuant to Mexican law.Protocol of Querétaro. Full text of Protocol and Treaty available at
The protocol further noted that said explanations had been accepted by the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the Mexican Government,Id. and was signed in Querétaro by A. H. Sevier,
Nathan Clifford and Luis de la Rosa.
The United States would later go on to ignore the protocol on the grounds that the U.S. representatives had over-reached their authority in agreeing to it.David Hunter Miller, Treaties and Other International Acts of the United States of America, vol. 5 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1937)
Treaty of Mesilla
The treaty of Mesilla which concluded the Gadsden purchase of 1854 had significant implications for the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Article II of the treaty annulled article XI of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and article IV further annulled articles VI and VII of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Article V however reaffirmed the property guarantees of Guadalupe Hidalgo, specifically those contained within articles VIII and IX.Bronwyn Mills U.S.-Mexican war p. 122 ISBN 0816049327
Effects
In addition to the sale of land, the treaty also provided for the recognition of the Rio Grande as the boundary between the State of
Texas and Mexico.Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Article V. The land boundaries were established by a survey team of appointed Mexican and American representatives,National Archives, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and published in three volumes as The
United States and Mexican Boundary Survey. On December 30, 1853, the countries by agreement altered the border from the initial one by increasing the number of border markers from 6 to 53.National Archives, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Most of these markers were simply piles of stones.Id. Two later conventions, in 1882 and 1889, further clarified the boundaries, as some of the markers had been moved or destroyed.Id.The southern border of California was designated as a line from the junction of the Colorado and Gila rivers westward to the Pacific Ocean, so that it passes one Spanish league south of the southernmost portion of San Diego Bay. This was done to ensure that the United States received
San Diego and its excellent natural harbor, without relying on potentially inaccurate designations by latitude.
The treaty extended U.S. citizenship to Mexicans in the newly-purchased territories, well before blacks, Asians and Native Americans were eligible. Between 1850 and 1920, the U.S. Census counted ethnic Mexicans in the white column. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-rodriguez3sep03,0,3733464.column?coll=la-home-commentary
Additional issues
Border disputes continued; the United States's desire to expand its territory continued unabated and Mexico's economic problems presistedThe U.S.-Mexico Border: The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, John C. Davenport, P.60, ISBN 0-7910-7833-7, leading to the controversial
Gadsden Purchase in 1854 and
William Walker's Republic of Lower California filibustering incident in that same year.
The border was routinely crossed by the militaries of both countries. Mexican and Confederate troops often clashed during the
american civil war, and the U.S. are thought to have crossed the border during the war of French intervention in Mexico.
In March 1916
Pancho Villa led a punative raid on the U.S. border town of Columbus, New Mexico, which was followed by
Pancho Villa Expedition.
The shifting of the Rio Grande would much later cause a dispute over the boundary between Purchase lands and those of the state of Texas. (See
Country Club Dispute)
