102939
The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war. For the 38 years between 1810, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain, and 1848, the region had formed approximately one-third of the territory of Mexico; prior to that, it had been a part – albeit a remote one, largely without European settlement – of the Spanish colony of New Spain for some three centuries.

After the Mexican-American War, the United States paid Mexico $15 million (the Treaty of Guadulupe Hidalgo) for what is now California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.  Texas won its War of Independence from Mexico in 1836, and later joined the United States as a slave state in 1845.\n\nThe United States later purchased the southern portion of Arizona, as well as the panhandle portion of New Mexico, in 1853 (the Gadsden Purchase) for $10 million.

We were already occupying Vera Cruz in 1914.  I have the photos from a family diary of US Naval landing parties there. I think Back Jack Pershing was already in persuit of Villa on both sides of the border.  Remeber the Mexican Civil War was in full swing at that time.

It's the date noted that Mexico declared it's independence from Spain... which technically occurred on September 15, 1810 but took the Mexican soldiers another 11 years to kick out the Spanish, French and English troops occupying Mexico.\n\nInterestingly enough, the major force of opposition was actually the French with the English and Spaniards quickly making deals and leaving.

Mexico, and ultimately the United States (we got land later) benefited. Spain lost out.

Stephen Fuller Austin (November 3, 1793 – December 27, 1836), known as the "Father of Texas," led the Anglo-American colonization of the region. The city of Austin, Texas and Austin County, Texas are named in his honor. It is ironic that Austin is known as the "Father of Texas," since he certainly never started off with any intention of breaking Texas away from Mexico, though he certainly supported such at the end.\n\nAustin's plan for a colony was thrown into turmoil by the independence of Mexico from Spain in 1821. Governor Martínez informed Austin that the junta instituyente, the new rump congress of the government of Agustín de Iturbide, refused to recognize the land grant authorized by Spain, based on a new policy of using a general immigration law to regulate new settlement in Mexico. Austin traveled to Mexico City and managed to persuade the junta instituyente to authorize the grant to his father, as well as the Law signed by the Spanish Emperor on January 3, 1823. The old Imperial Law offered heads of families a league and a labor of land, 4,605 acres (19 km²), and other inducements. It also provided for the employment of agents, called empresarios, to promote immigration. As empresario, Austin himself was to receive 67,000 acres (270 km²) of land for each 200 families he introduced. According to the law, immigrants were not required to pay fees to the government. This fact soon led some of the immigrants to deny Austin's right to charge them for services at the rate of 12½ cents an acre ($31/km²).\n\nWhen the Emperor of Mexico, Agustín de Iturbide, abdicated in March 1823, the law was annulled once again. In April 1823, Austin induced the congress to grant him a contract to bring 300 families into Texas. In 1824 the congress passed a new immigration law that allowed the individual states of Mexico to administer public lands and open them to settlement under certain conditions. In March 1825 the legislature of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas passed a law that was similar to the one authorized by Iturbide. The law continued the system of empresarios, as well as granting each married man a league of land, 4,428 acres (18 km²), with the stipulation that he must pay the state thirty dollars within six years.\n\nBy late 1825, Austin had brought the first 300 families, now known in Texas history as the Old Three Hundred, to the grant. Austin had obtained further contracts to settle an additional 900 families between 1825 and 1829. He had effective civil and military authority over the settlers, but he was quick to introduce a semblance of American law - the Constitution of Coahuila y Tejas was agreed on in November 1827. Despite his hopes Austin was making little money from his endeavors; the colonists were unwilling to pay for his services as empresario and most of the money gained was spent on the processes of government and other public services.\n\nHe was active to promote trade and to secure the good favor of the Mexican authorities, aiding them in the suppression of the Fredonian Rebellion of Haden Edwards. However, with the colonists numbering over 11,000 by 1832 they were becoming less conducive to Austin's cautious leadership, and the Mexican government was also becoming less cooperative - concerned with the growth of the colony and the efforts of the U.S. government to buy the state from them. The Mexican government had attempted to stop further U.S. immigration as early as April 1830, but again the skills of Austin had gained an exemption for his colonies.\n\nThe application of the immigration control and the introduction of tariff laws had done much to dissatisfy the colonists, peaking in the Anahuac disturbances. Austin then felt compelled to involve himself in Mexican politics, supporting the upstart Antonio López de Santa Anna. Following the success of Santa Anna the colonists sought a compensatory reward, proclaimed at the Convention of 1832 - resumption of imm

The Southwest belongs to the United States. It has since the 1800s. Why all of a sudden, are people claiming it belongs to Mexico? If Mexico wants it, then Mexico can just try to fucking take it. I'll be waiting for them, along with millions of other service members and armed citizens.

Indeed, the mexican independence from Spain in 1820 got some inspiration upon french revolution. In 1821 got consummated. But practically speaking, semi or even fully slavery conditions continued in rural communities until the Mexican revolution took place (1910).

The U.S. doesn't have an official language as such ... but we should have!!  And present day Mexicans have no claim whatsoever over any part of the U.S. ... even the Mexican constitution acknowledges where the border is drawn, and what belongs to Mexico ... and having read their constitution, I didn't find one reference to California or New Mexico or whatever they want to claim belongs to Mexico ... we have to deal with the realities of TODAY ... not the realities of hundreds of years ago ... at the same token, Russia could then claim Estonia again ... Sweden could claim the ports of Germany .... and on and on it goes ....

Of course it was.  I am from texas and it was most open form of illegal immigration in history.  But the historians will never say so, they will tell you about some bull that the mexicans where not really using it so it was free to claim.  Bull, and they know it, and no I am not mexican.  I am just keeping it real.  And no they had no right to ask, basically they didn't and thats when you get the alamo.  The people of america at that time didn't take no for an answer so they just took what they wanted by force.  I would of love it because you know what at the time that mexico had texas and california THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS SLAVERY.  So I guess you can blame america for the creation and the ending of slavery.
