The west had many resources and land available, so of course, America saw the opportunity and took it. There were many native americans still living there, but as Americans came in, they all fled in fear. Also during this time, The US and Mexico were having a dispute, whcih resulted in war. Pretty much, they wanted the same land and fought over it. To end the war, the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848 establishing the Rio Grande and not the Nueces River as the U.S.-Mexican border. Under the treaty, Mexico also recognized the U.S. annexation of Texas, and agreed to sell California and the rest of its territory north of the Rio Grande for $15 million plus the assumption of certain damages claims. Slavery was also a problem during this time. Mostly in the south, with the slave population being 4 million and growing, the north wasn't nearly as bad.]]> 2017-03-21 16:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/413119/vaqkb3fi88x0/wish/161558662 413119 https://padlet.com/413119/vaqkb3fi88x0/wish/161564462 2017-03-21 16:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/413119/vaqkb3fi88x0/wish/161564462 413119 https://padlet.com/413119/vaqkb3fi88x0/wish/161565158 (What's your current stance on slavery?)
"I am very happy that it's been abolished here. I'm still not too pleased that it's still around in the south, but no matter how wrong it is, they say they need it. How hard is it to just do your own work with your family? Or hire people to do it? Slavery is completely wrong."

"I couldn't live without it. There is no way all of this cotton could be picked by just me and my family. It's amazing, they work for free, and sometimes we don't even feed them or care for them as we should. How I see it, as long as they're working and not causing any trouble, they're fine with me."]]> 2017-03-21 16:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/413119/vaqkb3fi88x0/wish/161567514
