New Mexico Territory The New Mexico Territory was made up of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado.

California Missions By 1820, California had over 21 missions with over 20,000 converts to Christianity.

Rancheros In 1821, rancheros built ranchos (similar to plantations) where Native Americans were treated like slaves.

Americans Move to California By the 1840’s, Americans began to move into California and the U.S. offered to buy California on several occasions.

C) Conflict Begins

Disputed Border President Polk wanted to take New Mexico, California, and Oregon. However, instead of starting a war, they provoked the Mexicans.

John Slidell John Slidell was sent to offer $30 million to Mexico if they would accept the Texas border deal. In 1845, Mexico still believed the annexation of Texas was illegal.

Gen. Zachary Taylor Gen. Zachary Taylor arrived in the area between the disputed border to build a fort and was attacked by Mexican forces.

Polk Asks for War On May 11, 1846, President Polk asked Congress to declare war on Mexico over the attack.

U.S. Troops Move South Gen. Taylor attacks and takes Matamoros, Monterrey, and Buena Vista which secured the border.

Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny Gen. Kearny attacks and takes New Mexico and California securing the Western border. In June of 1846, the Bear Flag Republic was formed in California.

Commodore John Sloat The U.S. Navy under the command of Commodore Sloat arrived and annexed California to the United States.

Gen. Winfield Scott In March of 1847, Gen. Scott landed in Veracruz (Mexican port) and marched toward Mexico City to capture the city and force Mexico to surrender.

Mexican American War The war cost over $100 million and over 13,000 died (11,000 to disease).

Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war officially in 1848. The U.S. got the Texas border, Texas, New Mexico, and California for $15 million.
