How did these pieces of land become part of the United States?

Parker asked:


The Original 13 States
Gains from Peace of Paris 1783
Louisiana Territory Purchase 1803
North Dakota/Minnesota Cession 1818
Florida purchased from Spain 1819
Acquisition from Gr. Britain 1842
Texas Annexed 1845
Oregon Territory-Treaty of 1846
Mexican Cession 1848
Gadsden Purchase 1853

They have to be acquired using one of the following:
A. Purchase by Treaty
B. Treaty ending a war(no purchase money involved)
C. Acquired by Treaty ending a war(some money paid)
D. Annexation by Congressional Resloution of an independent republic
E. Acquisition by Agreements with other nations(no purchase money involved)

I’m relatively sure i’ve figured out a few of them, but need to be one hundred percent sure for an exam coming up where some of these might be on the test.
I understand how the thirteen colonies came about. They claimed the land & eventually Great Britain recognized this claim with a treaty. But was the treaty one that ended a war? Or was there just disputes with no war, but ended the disputes with a treaty? I wasn’t sure a war was going on.. but i know there had been much tension.

Anyways, I think it goes

A
Not Sure
A
D

One i’m still trying to figure out.. & a little more confirmation that these are right would be great! I have to get in A, and can’t mess up on any of them.. :/ Thanks everyone!!!!

can anyone re-word this but, shrink it kind of to about a 3 minute speech?

lolo asked:


Campfire remains in the Valley of Mexico, have been radiocarbon-dated to 21,000 BCE, and a few chips of stone tools have been found near the hearths, indicating the presence of humans at that time.[23] Around 9,000 years ago, ancient indigenous peoples domesticated corn and initiated an agricultural revolution, leading to the formation of many complex civilizations. Between 1,800 and 300 BCE, many matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as: the Olmec, the Teotihuacan, the Maya, the Zapotec, the Mixtec, the Toltec and the Aztec, which flourished for nearly 4,000 years before the first contact with Europeans. Credited with many inventions and advancements including pyramid-temples, mathematics, astronomy, medicine and theology.
In the early 16th century, from the landing of Hernán Cortés, the Aztec civilization was invaded and conquered by the Spaniards.[24] The territory became part of the Spanish Empire under the name of New Spain, much of the identity, traditions and architecture of Mexico were created during the colonial period.
On September 16, 1810, independence from Spain was declared by Priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, in the small town of Dolores, Guanajuato.[25] The first insurgent group was formed by Hidalgo, the Spanish viceregal army captain Ignacio Allende, the militia captain Juan Aldama and “La Corregidora” Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez. Hidalgo and some of his soldiers were captured and executed by firing squad in Chihuahua, on July 31, 1811. Following his death, the leadership was assumed by priest José María Morelos, who occupied key southern cities. In 1813, the Congress of Chilpancingo was convened and, on November 6, signed the “Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of Northern America”. Morelos was captured and executed on December 22, 1815. In subsequent years, the insurgency was near collapse, but in 1820 Viceroy Juan Ruiz de Apodaca sent an army under the criollo general Agustín de Iturbide against the troops of Vicente Guerrero. Instead, Iturbide approached Guerrero to join forces, and in 1821 representatives of the Spanish Crown and Iturbide signed the “Treaty of Córdoba”, which recognized the independence of Mexico under the terms of the “Plan of Iguala”. Iturbide immediately proclaimed himself emperor of the First Mexican Empire. A revolt against him in 1823 established the United Mexican States. In 1824, a Republican Constitution was drafted and Guadalupe Victoria became the first president of the newly born country. The first decades of the post-independence period were marked by economic instability, which led to the Pastry War in 1836, and a constant strife between liberales, supporters of a federal form of government, and conservadores, proposals of a hierarchical form of government.[26] General Antonio López de Santa Anna, a centralist and two-time dictator, approved the Siete Leyes in 1836, a radical amendment that institutionalized the centralized form of government. Suspended the 1824 Constitution, civil war spread across the country, and three new governments declared independence: the Republic of Texas, the Republic of the Rio Grande and the Republic of Yucatán. Texas successfully archived it and was annexed by the United States, a border dispute led to the Mexican–American War, which began in 1846 and lasted for two years, settled via the “Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo” forcing Mexico to give up nearly half of its land to the U.S., including California. Further transferred some of its territories, southern Arizona and New Mexico, via the Gadsden Purchase in 1854.
Dissatisfaction with Santa Anna’s return to power led to the liberal “Plan of Ayutla”, initiating an era known as La Reforma, after which a new Constitution was drafted in 1857 that established a secular state, federalism as the form of government and several freedoms. As the conservadores refused to recognized, the War of Reform began in 1858, both groups had their own governments, but ended in 1861 with the liberal victory led by indigenous President Benito Juárez. In the 1860s underwent a military occupation by France, which established the Second Mexican Empire under the rule of Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria with support from the Roman Catholic clergy and the conservadores, who later switched sides and joined the liberales. Maximilian surrendered, was tried on June 14 and was executed on June 19, 1867. Porfirio Díaz, a republican general during the French intervention, ruled Mexico from 1876–1880 and then from 1884–1911 in five consecutive reelections, period known as the Porfiriato, characterized by remarkable economic achievements, investments in arts and sciences, but also of economic inequality and political repression.[27] A likely electoral fraud that led to his fifth reelection sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution, initially led by Francisco I. Madero. Díaz resigned in 1911 and Madero was elected president but overthrown and murdered in a coup d’

How much could I buy a reliable, classic VW Beetle for in Mexico?

des4859 asked:


I’ve noticed that classic VW Beetles go for a lot of money in the US and Canada, between $5000 and $10,000. But they had been produced in Mexico for years. I would assume the climate, and their abundance, would mean there would be a lot of them, and they would cost considerably less in Mexico. Am I right?

What if Mexico hadn’t lost the Mexican-American War?

James asked:


The territories that belonged to Mexico before this war took place were the entire states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah, as well as parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming.

If Mexico still had all of this territory, how do you think the country would be doing right now? Would Mexico be a 1st world country, or would it still be a developing nation?

Also, how would this have affected the United States? Would it be as prosperous as it is today, being a much smaller country?

How do conservatives feel about GW Bush getting his wish of Mexican truck drivers Stealing MORE American jobs?

captain_koyk asked:


They start rolling this weekend – unlimited access to the entire continental United States

Why do we as Americans continue to allow “conservatives” to PRETEND TO BELIEVE one way, then like Vitter, like Craig, like Bush (the list goes on) ACT in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT way and AGAINST the best interests of OUR NATION?
conpublican – it’s not Bush’s wish????

this is a POLICY DECISION. It doesn’t go through congress, it goes though the DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION which is SOLEY under the control of the president.
speckofdust7billion – so offer AMERICANS MORE MONEY
Butterbar Bob -how is it in America’s interest to open our borders as you suggest and lower the living standards of ALL americans in the process?
Butterbar Bob -you have the GALL to call THIS protectionist?????
Johnny 2 Times -RIGHT, you KNOW that American truck drivers wil NOT go into CORRUPT mexico to be ROBBED but are conveniently and DISHONESTLY forgeting it.
conpublican — Sorry, doesn’t wash, first, I disagreed with Clinton’s signing of NAFTA, so he IS to blame in this as well. But ALL OF CONGRESS was Republican controlled at the time and the NAFTA bill was WRITTEN by Republicans. Peddle your BS elswhere


When atheists cite the Treaty of Tripoli as evidence?

God is Good! asked:


How should these treaties be considered:
U.S. TREATIES MADE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF “GOD” OR “ALMIGHTY GOD”:

MEXICO, 1848:
“In the name of Almighty God:
The United States of America and the United Mexican States. . . ”

MEXICO, 1853:
“In the name of Almighty God:
The Republic of Mexico and the United States of America. . . ”

COLUMBIA, 1824:
“In the name of God, Author and Legislator of the Universe.
The United States of America, and the Republic of Columbia. . . ”

CHILE, 1832:
“In the name of God, Author and Legislator of the Universe.
The United States of America, and the Republic of Chili. . . ”

OTHER U.S. TREATIES WHICH USE THE WORD “GOD” OR “ALMIGHTY GOD”:

In 1787, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams signed a treaty with Morocco titled “Treaty of Peace and Friendship.” This treaty was done under the authority of “Almighty God.” It also said “trusting in God it will remain permanent.”

In 1865, the United States and Morocco with 10 other powers signed a treaty that began this way:
“In the name of the only God! There is no strength nor power but of God.
“His Excellency the President of the United States of America. . . ”

In 1890, the United States along with at least 15 other nations entered into a treaty against the slave trade. The treaty was titled: “General Act For the Repression of the African Slave Trade.” The treaty began this way:
“In the Name of God Almighty.
The President of the United States of America . . . (other nations followed).”

U.S. TREATIES MADE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY:

RUSSIA, 1824:
“In the name of the Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity.
The President of the United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. . .”

RUSSIA, 1832:
“In the name of the Most Holy and indivisible Trinity.
The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. . .”

PORTUGAL, 1840:
“In the Name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.
The United States of America and Her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen of Portugal. . .”

Paraguay, 1859:
“In the name of the Most Holy Trinity.
The Government of the two Republics, the United States of America and of Paraguay. . .”

COSTA RICA, 1851:
“In the name of the Most Holy Trinity.”

BRAZIL, 1828, 1849:
“In the name of the Most Holy and Invisible Trinity.
The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. . . ”

Incredibly, the treaty that the United States entered into in 1783 which ended the Revolutionary War was signed under the authority of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. The treaty began this way: “In the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.” The American representatives for the treaty were John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Jay, soon to be the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
witness: 1797: Treaty of Peace and Friendship…………
Richter, So you agree substantial documents exist contradicting that translation in Tripoli. And as these were produced in volumes subsequently then it should be concluded the treaty of tripoli should be dismissed.
Wren, Prove one misquote.
