Gadsden+Purchase

The Gadsden Purchase: Well the Gadsden purchase was was one very weird purchase we had purchased it for 10 million. The U.S. was planning on building a railroad to California without going thru the mountains because they needed a quicker way to get to California because of the gold rush. There was a huge problem with the maps it placed the cities and like a hundred miles away from were they are. Santa Anna had taken the money instead of giving it to help mexico and was exiled on the Caribbean's and came back to mexico for about a year and the died of natural causes. Although the U.S. didn't get the railroad built they got the southern half new Mexico and some Arizona.
