I can find no treaty of 1790

[laplata]

This is the only treaty signed in 1790 that I can find. In no way does it pertain to this because Mexico didn’t even exist then.

August 7, 1790 Secret articles of US/Creek Treaty of 07/04/1790.

This treaty discusses the continuance of U.S. trade with the Creek Nation in the event of war with Spain. McGillivray is appointed U.S. agent to the Creek Nation. U.S. agrees to educate and clothe a number of Creek children not to exceed four.

I can find no treaty of 1790

I can only think he meant to say the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848).

Was Mexico even a country in 1790?

[El Laton Caliente]

I found one... with the Creek Indians???

I smell BS. There was no Mexico in 1790. It was a colony of Spain. There may have been a treaty with Spain for minimal help they gave us in the American Revolution, but said treaty would not extend to an independent former colony.

For the record, Mexico was only independent for 13 years when they first invited American settlers into what is now Texas with the idea that they'd create a buffer zone between Comanche Territory and the more populated part of Mexico further south.

We didn't really steal anything from the Mexicans, we stole it from the Comanche.

And even if there was a treaty of 1790 that would’ve been with Spain, not mexico, as it had not become independent. That treaty would also have been considered null and void upon Mexico’s independence. Nice try, fed-dumbasses.

The Treaty involved apparently pre-activity with the SPANISH who were on and owned the frontier of the Creeks- viz
“In February, 1784, Spain accepted the Creek Nation as a protectorate.271 In June of 1784 it appointed Alexander McGillivray Commissary of the Creek Nation, salary included.272 Throughout his presidency Washington not only had to deal with the Indian problem with the United States, but with involvement of Spain in Indian affairs as well.

One of the most important reasons why the Creek issue had to be settled had to do with the so-called Yazoo affair. During the formation of the new government, Georgia had sold an immense amount of Indian land to three companies, referred to as Yazoo because of their location along the Yazoo River. The companies made no effort to control the land, they instead appointed the Irishman Dr. James O’Fallon to deal directly with the Indians, and he promptly offered to establish an independent “buffer” nation to Spain. This land, claimed both by Georgia and Spain, was to cause a great measure of trouble for Washington.273 “

Mexican-American War of 1846 (140 yrs later) voided such nonsense.
