The treaty of G. Hidalgo ended the war Mexico started. America paid 50 mllion in gold and promised to keep Mexico safe from Apache raids also. That resulted in all of the staes of far west and southwest becoming Amerian.
Under the terms of the treaty negotiated by Trist, Mexico ceded to the United States Upper California and New Mexico. This was known as the Mexican Cession and included present-day Arizona and New Mexico and parts of Utah, Nevada, and Colorado (see Article V of the treaty). Mexico relinquished all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary with the United States (see Article V).
The United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 "in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States" (see Article XII of the treaty) and agreed to pay American citizens debts owed to them by the Mexican government (see Article XV). Other provisions included protection of property and civil rights of Mexican nationals living within the new boundaries of the United States (see Articles VIII and IX), the promise of the United States to police its boundaries (see Article XI), and compulsory arbitration of future disputes between the two countries (see Article XXI).
Too bad we didn’t acquire Baja California too. Lot of beach front property there.

For the sign holder, I have two questions:

and
Do you think Mexico is too hispanic?
