Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

The treaty called for the United States to pay $15 million to Mexico and pay off the claims of American citizens against Mexico up to $3.25 million. It gave the United States the Rio Grande boundary for Texas, and gave the U.S. ownership of California, and a large area comprising New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Mexicans in those annexed areas had the choice of returning to Mexico or becoming U.S. citizens with full rights.

Very interesting! Just imagine if Mexico had retained all of those areas that were purchased. The entire areas would be as backward, corrupt and undeveloped as the Motherland. Plus imagine the border between those areas and the U.S. if it existed today. I suppose the Mississippi might have worked. This nation would not have survived!!!!
