What land did we steal from the hispanics?
Answer:
They are trying to ignore the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, wherein Mexico turned over land in exchange for $15 million. There were also Mexican debts the U.S. assumed, and the U.S. gave people in that area the option of becoming U.S. citizens if they wanted to. It was signed in 1848, I think, and was a large portion of what is now the southwestern U.S. - Colorado, Navada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
We didn't. Apparently they were gone the day they taught history in school.
The entire West. Mexican-American war. Manifest destiny. We launched an unprovoked war to take Mexican territory. Funny...Mexicans are trying to do to us what we did to them.only nonviolently. Who has the moral high ground on that one?
we did not steal nothing, texas was taken in battle!
Not really sure, but if we did, they have stolen enough hub caps and tv sets to be paid back by now!
Texas, and much of the southwest. Santa Ana "gave" it to us, but only because we took it and he couldn't get it back. That doesn't make it not stolen. You might want to brush up on your history.
That said, it is completely and utterly irrelevant to the immigration issue today, regardless of what side of the argument one is on. In that sense, you are right.
We didn't steal anything. Every land we have now we either discovered or won. You can't steal land, you take it over, it has been that was for thousands of years, and always will be.
fantasy land. That is the land in their minds to make Americans feel guilty. Truth is we didn't.
I guess if we stole land from the Mexicans then the Mexicans stole land from the Native Americans.
FYI, some people get offended if you call them the wrong thing
Mexican means you're from Mexico
Latino means you're family is from Mexico and you speak Spanish or your from Latin America.
Hispanic means you're family is from Mexico and you do not speak Spanish (it all depends on who you talk to. I don't get why they get so upset though)
Let me tell you The pro illegals immigrant most of them are students and they get credit for doing what they do so.
Not such thing is truth as been land stoled from mexico...
They are bunch ignorants that say that...
I am original from a Latin American country and I say not such thing is truth. They have wrong...History!!! Say it all.
Mexico could have never won that war...They were weakened and bankrupted from the Mexican War.The US made its move and took the southwest.Many Mexican land owners which were given US citizenship were thrown out or killed for that land, what do you call that?
unprovoked war? Mexicans wanted the americans that they invited to settle their land out. Americans were outnumbered but fought back because the land they were promised for settling the land and helping Mexico build was being taken from them. If it weren't for the capture of Santa Ana, americans would have lost.
Mexicans did not just nicely ask, there was violence. It makes you wonder what the Mexico history books say vs the American History books. This goes on all around the world when others go to war. Then it breeds new hatred and hostility but if you use common sense, if americans were outnumbered, wouldn't you think they were defending themselves and fighting back?
If you were approached by a group of thugs circling you, a fight broke out who would you conclude using your common sense had the intent to harm?
Everyything except texas was purchased from mexico through the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo and the gadsden purchase. look it up.
Colorado, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas were all part of Mexico (note all the states with names ending in vowels ... they are Spanish names).
These territories were ceded to the United States at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War from 1846-1848.
"Stolen" ... "Conquered" ... same thing?
None. We won it fair and square through war. That's how it was back in the day. If you went to war and lost, you lost your land. Is it really our fault Mexico had a weak army?
Texas History is taught in the seventh grade. Unless they dropped out of school by then, ( strong possibility), Hispanics would know about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Texas and several states were acquired for approximately 15 million dollars. Mexico benefited in many other ways under that same treaty, one of which was debt relief. Texas was very sparsely populated then, and the people were offered citizenship if they would homestead. A mule was also thrown in. When you pay for something, it is not considered stealing. Pretty easy concept if all brain cells are functioning.
