James Gadsden
With all the current issues regarding illegal immigration
in the United States today, this is one name that is not
mentioned James Gadsden.......
There are many pro-Mexican organizations, that exist today,
which claim that the Southwestern part of the United States
is "really" theirs and therefore Mexican Territory.......
Historical Fact: After the conclusion of the Mexican-American
War in 1848, Mr. Gadsden made arrangements, confirmed
by The US Congress, to pay Mexican President Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna the sum of $10 million in 1854 for the land
around Yuma, Tuscon in southern Arizona and on into New
Mexico.......The Gadsden Purchase......
What gets me is why people "think" they own something which
they "sold"......If you sell a car, you have not future claim to
its ownership.......
No wonder no one hears of James Gadsden anymore.....Pumps
