Mexico And The United States

Prior to the Gold Rush of 1849, California was a meagerly populated, an irrelevant area of the United States for the most part possessed by the general population of Mexico. In any case, that all changed when on January 24, 1848; woodworker and little time sawmill administrator James W. Marshall found a gold piece in the American River that would always show signs of change the historical backdrop of California and America1. Not exclusively did the Gold Rush prompt California 's permission into the Union in 1850, it additionally revived the possibility of the American Dream. Hundred 's of thousands of individuals filled the state by the draw of brisk and unending wealth. Because of the Gold Rush, California in the end turned into a

The United States became further united due to the continuous desire and procurement of new territories. In President James Polk’s 1845 Inaugural Address, he shared his opinion of the “danger to [the nation’s] safety and future peace” if Texas remained an independent state. Polk’s point of view was that the annexation of Texas in 1845 was necessary in order to avoid a conflict with Mexico. However, the United States went to war with Mexico anyway over the California territory. Economic opportunities were created in California due to the gold rush, which brought many people from many different ethnicities. California became a “seat of wealth and power,” due to the California Gold Rush (1848-1855) and its acquisition from Mexico after the Mexican-American War, as foreshadowed by an anonymous writer of the 1846 article “California and the National I

In 1850, Henry Clay introduced a series of propositions which concerned California as a free state and the fugitive slave law. However, Clay never succeeded in passing his plans due to differences congress portrayed within each other. In September, Douglas introduced Clays plans, but separately, and ended up…… so the Compromise of 1850 was signed. This Compromise admitted California as a free state and enforced the Fugitive slave laws among others. It created tension as northerners were unhappy with the fugitive slave law and the southerners felt threatened due to

In late 1849, California applied for admission as a free state in the Union. The problem with this request was the geographical dividing line that congress created in the

When thinking of New York City, more often than not, the first things one visualizes is the beautiful skyline, the bright lights, and Times Square. But without a second glance, one might miss one of the important things about the city. New York is the most heavily Dominican populated city in the United States. It’s ironic that the first non-native American to migrate to and reside on what is today New York City, was from Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic. Throughout history, Dominicans have migrated to the US in search of economic opportunity. This is the factor that influences nearly every immigrant group that migrates to the US in history. In the early 1900s, The United States and the Dominican Republic had a very close diplomatic relationship, to the point where the President considered annexation. At one point, the United States completely controlled the Sugar industry, one of the country’s most profitable markets.

The Secession of the South from the Union When the United States of America expanded westward, they achieved manifest destiny. This above all, raised tensions between the North and the South. Although they were a union, many problems arose, the main issue being slavery. These problems eventually led to the Civil War. The North thrived on factories, while the South thrived on agriculture, causing them to utilize slaves.

Between 1820 to 1848, four slave states were admitted and four Free states were admitted, so it would be balanced. Once we got territory after the Mexican-American war, the balanced was going to be changed. California wanted to be a Free states, but it would make the balance of slave and free states uneven. Therefore, in 1850, Congress admitted California as a free state and made the slave trade illegal in the capital. In addition, to please the south, they made a new law call the

One of the laws created in the Compromise of 1850 was allowing California to be a free state. This allowed other territories including Utah and New Mexico to be determined by popular sovereignty (Doc

California provoked the next stage of Compromises in Congress. The Compromise of 1850 was a five-part bill put forth by Henry Clay, it was composed of five key components. First, California had to submit to the Union as a free state. Then the remaining lands had to divide into two new territories. Excluding New Mexico and Utah. They would remain proslavery until they became states. Next, it would basically pacify anti-slavery northerners, slave auctions would be banned in Washington, DC but not slavery itself. It stated that Texas would also be compensated and be prohibited from influencing New Mexico any further with hopes of extending slavery there. Lastly, the government would create and enforce new and tougher Fugitive Slave Laws, this would also punish Northerners from helping slaves to escape. This law hoped to ensure both North and South would work together to protect the slave

One of the legislative bills that were passed as part of the Compromise of 1850 was California was accepted in the

For its former western half but it’s the only way to achieve statehood Arizona with its growing Anglo majority however roundly rejected the prospect. On January 6, 1912, after years of debate on whether the population of New Mexico was fully assimilated into American culture, or too immersed in corruption, President William Howard Taft twisted arms in Congress and New Mexico became the 47th state of the Union.[39] The admission of the neighboring Arizona on February 14, 1912

Before the gold rush California was populated mostly by Native Americans and Spanish colonists. The most western parts of the US had so far been left uncivilized by the English colonists except for some explorers. Before the Mexican – American War of 1846 – 1848 it wasn’t even American territory. At the time California and New Mexico belonged to Mexico. The war started due to the President’s Polk desire to expand U.S territory in the west by having New Mexico and California as a part of the US. The war was easily won by the United States and in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which was signed on February 2 1848, Mexico lost about a third of its territory. Polk desire of expanding U.S territory had succeeded. With the new territory of California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico it was the largest territory claimed by the U.S after the Louisiana purchase in 1803.

San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. Roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. In 1849 a state constitution was written. The new constitution was adopted by referendum vote, and the future state's interim first governor and legislature were chosen. In September, 1850, California became a state as part of the Compromise of 1850.

When looking at the history between the United States and Latin America, you see many interactions between them, all that aided the relationship that they have today. Despite that the United States and Latin America are in the same part of the world, the beliefs in which they govern may differ. This difference has often been seen playing a major role in the disputes that have occurred in past.

However, the two countries have found ways to meet in the middle of their cultural differences, to form an equally fair relationship.

In the article “Mexico or America” a family stresses the outcome of their survival when Trump comes into presidency. The wife has a job and is legal in America along with her 2 daughters, but her husband is illegal. Personally, I wouldn't want to be alone. Especially if my husband and children were legal in the United States and I only had so long until the government found out. If the government didn't find out you would still struggle to live the average life. Rachel told Ivri, “if he wins, we're leaving.” Also, many celebrities are saying the same. I strongly believe we are one country and no matter who the president is we need to stick together. I also believe it should be easier for illegals to become legal. Trump isn't very
