Each question answered in a paragraph with at least one reference.
1-The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) ceded much land from Mexico to the U.S. What was the long term effect of this great land cession? How did it affect the U.S. and Mexico in their future developments?
2-Gold was discovered in California in 1848 – just as the peace treaty was being signed between Mexico and the U.S. If gold had been discovered sooner, do you think that would this have affected the war or the treaty arrangements?
