purchase, defined the boundary between the U.S and New Spain. Spain surrendered its claim to
the pacific northwest in return the US recognized Spanish sovereignty over Texas. The events
surrounding the treaty emphasized a dislike of American citizens to Europeans interfering with
affairs and encroaching on their lands. "America for Americans" and US nationalism
Monroe Doctrine - ANSWERS-Foreign policy by the US that clearly separates European and
American (north and South) influence. The two Americas have a shared history and they used
this sameness to keep out European powers. Significant because this doctrine gave permission
(through the Roosevelt Corollary) to the US to act upon influence throughout the history of
Latin American relations. Justified US intervention throughout Southern America to promote a
stable, orderly, and prosperous neighbor and sparks opposition to US occupation /resistance
later on.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo - ANSWERS-Treaty ending the US Mexican American War.
Significant because this treaty was the answer to land without people or land and people. The
US received as much land with as few people and completed westward expansion. Doubles the
territory of the US and highlighted the effect of racial difference in terms of geographic
expansion of America.
Vaqueros - ANSWERS-Men of Latino, Mexican, and African Descent who played an important
part in the development of the cattle industry after the annexation of Texas. Significant because
they become a main source of labor and ironic that America becomes dependent on the people
that they did not want to accept following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Non-Anglo people
become the backbone of southern economics.
