Disagreements and Agreements of the Mexican American War

The Mexican-American War led to many disagreements, treaties, important people, and states involved with the war. Although the Mexicans and Americans both disliked each other very much, they made treaties giving land orders, money orders, and even war orders. One treaty was called the Missouri Compromise. The deal said that someone would draw an imaginary line through California bought territories. They settled where slavery had been permitted. So, slavery led to being only accepted south of the line. One other treaty had major affects on both Texas, the U.S, and Mexico. The treaty was called Treaty of Velasco. The treaty gave Texas its independence. Of course, Mexico angry and did not agree with the treaty. The U.S said, look, the U.S will give the Texas its independence if it wants to. Mexico, without warning, came to Texas, and there came the Alamo. The same topic led to another treaty called the Gadsen Treaty. The Gadsen Treaty resolved the dispute between Mexico and Texas and it resolved border problems. This helped Mexico and Texas solve any problems they had. Moving to the U.S, another slavery law, had been placed The Wilmot Provoiso. Created by congress, The Wilmot Provosio excluded slavery from conquered places. Places like in Mexico, which they conquered in battle. Many senators did not agree, but were defeated by congress. Many disagreed because many were from the South and the South wanted slavery to go on. The U.S Civil War not only split a nation in half, but also affected them against Mexico. Mexico took this as an advantage to move into the United States. The next treaty however, helped both the U.S and the Mexicans reach a deal that helped settle disputes. The Gadsen Treaty had been when the United States paid Mexico for land. Due to Mexico’s economic problems, Mexico took the deal. Due to the expenses during the war for Mexico, it had no other choice but to except the deal. The United States got some land, and Mexico got some money. Many treaties had to do with Mexico and the U.S. The Treaty of Gudalupe Hidalgo reopened the slavery issue in the U.S and Mexico. It also said that the Mexicans should be treated fairly when in U.S conquered lands. The treaty was made by a man named Migeul Hidalgo. Hidalgo not only made the treaty, but he reopened the issues. Hidalgo grew up learning increasingly about Catholicism. So, he took all this information and became a Mexican priest. Born in Dolores, Mexico, he reopened the issue of slavery and Mexican rights. In fact, Dolores started the whole war.
Hidalgo though had many affects which helped the Mexicans in the war. He persuaded local Indians to join and persuaded them against exploration. He also persuaded many local Indians to join the war with Mexico. He had many effects on the war which changed the war completely. Recalling the Gadsen Treaty. The man who made it was James Gadsen. Gadsen was sent to Mexico by the U.S for some reasons. The main one though was, the U.S was having disputes with Mexico. So, they made a treaty. The U.S got Mexico to sign the treaty which made them happy. It was one more step to peace. Even it did not seem like it was one more step to peace, it was. James Gadsen helped the U.S achieve peace with Mexico and took the a risk to help get peace. Some of the treaties would get some of the states of the United States involved with political issues. The states included California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. The states helped put together treaties that made mostly everyone happy. The states created the treaties not wanting to, but to solve disputes. In many wars, many disputes go on and on until they would be solved. In the Mexican-American War however, disputes were solved rather quickly. One of the disputes, that fought throughout the war had been that Mexico wanted to much land. Another dispute was over Texas. Texas was the whole reason of the war. Texas had something big and that was the size it was. Texas was on of the biggest pieces of land in the United States. The Mexican-American War started so many disputes, that they were very tough to handle.
