On This Day, In History…

Posted February 2nd @ 10:15 am by kigis

159 years ago, the Mexican-American war came to an end with the signing of the treaty of Hidalgo.  After which we paid (We won this war then paid for land?) Mexico nearly $300,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) for the present-day states of California, Nevada, and Utah, portions of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming.  That’s a pretty good deal for Cali and Nevada but Utah?  Wonder if we can return that one.

    They never close because they never open.
