	Mexican Cession Information
		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.
		For the 38 years between 1810, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain, and 1848, the region had formed approximately one-third of the country of Mexico; prior to that, it had been a part – albeit a remote one, with sparse European settlement – of the Spanish colony of New Spain for some three centuries.
		A chain of Spanish missions and settlements extended into this region, mostly following the course of the Rio Grande from the El Paso area to Santa Fe, which was a colonial capital under the Spanish and the Mexicans, and which is now the capital city of the U.S. state of New Mexico.

		Under the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican War in 1848, Mexico ceded most of what is now the southwest quarter of the United States, including all of California, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona, and large areas of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.

	The U.S.-Mexican War: Introduction
		Although the war was one of the most momentous conflicts of the nineteenth century, most Americans seem to know little about it today.
		This situation is probably due in part to the overshadowing of the U.S.-Mexican War by the American Civil War, a much larger and more protracted conflict.
		At the time of the cession, the Republic of Mexico exercised very little actual control over this territory, which contained less than 1% of the country's population nor was anyone aware of the gold, silver, and other minerals that would later be found there.

		Taylor’s big blunder as president was his refusal to pass the Compromise of 1850, a series of bills put together by Clay during his final years as a senator.
