Storming of Chapultepec

The Hall of Montezuma

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Made Rio Grande as boundary of Mexico California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming was given to U.S. for $15 million. Dispossessed thousands of Mexicans of their rightful land. Leads to decades of resentment lasting even today.

Consequences US gains New Mexico territory and California. (Wilmot Proviso) Issue of slavery is reborn with vigor. Training ground for the Civil War. Political opposition. Whigs, Civil Disobedience, religious reasons.

The San Patricios A question of loyalities. Religion, high pay & land grants. Over 200 served. Fifty will be hanged at the conclusion of the war.
