The loss of land not only affected Mexico’s presence of power but also affected hundreds of thousands of native people.

The Treaty of Guadalupe was the beginning of a new era amongst Mexico and the United States, which would forever change how the US and Mexico would deal with each other. The purpose of the treaty was to end the Mexican-American war. It consisted of fees America would pay to Mexico and in return it would separate the US and Mexico border along the Rio Grande. Mexicans living on the new American side of the Rio Grande had the choice to move south to Mexico or stay on American soil and become citizens.

How it all started, well in the beginning, the Americans and Mexicans both wanted to control Texas, but at the time it was a part of the Mexican territory, well soon enough Americans wanted control over it so badly that they started to travel into Texas’s land.

(“Social Studies for kids” The Mexican American war) As more Americans moved to the land, everyone knew that it would most definitely become a part of the U.S. Another reason why the war between the Mexicans and Americans happened was because the Louisiana Purchase, it had pushed the western boundaries of the United States father than they had ever been. After the victory of Lewis and Clark, more Americans explored and settled in the Louisiana territory, and also Louisiana territory was right next to Texas territory, so the Americans figured if they make the Louisiana Purchase it would make it easier to get Texas. (“Social Studies for kids” The Mexican American war) The war was mainly determined by the idea of “Manifest destiny”,” the belief that the U.S. had a God-given right to occupy and civilize the whole continent.” As a large number of Americans started to go towards the west in search of land, the fact that most of those areas already had people living in them was not acknowledged.

561 wordsRead More - My History Not Yoursanalytical essayWhen viewing a map of the country of Mexico prior to the American westward expansion, it was actually larger than the United States had been at that time. Some lands that Mexico lost in the Mexican - American war under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, are Texas (the second largest state in the present US), California (the third largest state in the present US) and New Mexico (the fifth largest state in the present US). Due to this defeat Mexico lost half of its national territory. Half of Mexico’s lands were gone and half of Mexico’s people displaced making them Americans and no longer Mexicanos. This occurred without their approval or consent. In the book “My History Not Yours” written by Genaro M. Padilla are accounts of men and women living in the lands of Texas, California and New Mexico during the this unruly time of loss and the unknown. The pages of this book contain the actual written accounts of Mexicanos and their feeling of outrage sadness and anger against the insurgence of their mother lands. The feelings of accommodation and resistance are a present among the writers within Padilla’s book but some lean towards one side and some the other.
