The United Press reports today that\u00a0“On This Day In History”<\/a>:<\/h2>\n

In 1848, the war between the United States and Mexico formally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. It provided for Mexico’s cession of the territory that became the states of New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Wyoming in exchange for $15 million.\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That’s almost $600 million\u00a0<\/a>in today’s money, or to think of another way, about 500 tons of silver, but while the US paid something to Mexico in compensation, the real reason for the treaty was the United States winning the Mexican War.<\/h2>\n

As\u00a0Jared Taylor\u00a0<\/a>points out\u00a0here<\/a>, this is not only about how America got Texas and California, but Oregon as well. Even before the Great Awokening, American schoolchildren were told that this was an “imperialistic war of aggression,<\/a>” which is\u00a0nothing\u00a0<\/a>different than what\u00a0Mexican\u00a0<\/a>schoolchildren are\u00a0taught\u00a0<\/a>about it. It wasn’t. See, for example,\u00a0James K. Polk And Our Just War Against Mexico,<\/a><\/em>\u00a0by Pat Buchanan from 2009.<\/h2>\n
