This…is one of the most important maps in US and Mexican history. It’s the map used to negotiate the border between the two countries to end the Mexican-American war in 1848, including Texas it transferred over half of Mexico’s land to the US. But it wasn’t a clean-cut deal. The map had some serious errors and the US quickly wanted more land…nearly bringing to two countries to back to war.

Thank you RareMaps.com for supporting another video! This video would have not been possible with them.

This is some sweet geography geek action.

Doesn’t matter where the border falls now in the 21st century. We Mexicans are ingrained in the fabric of the SW United States and beyond. Very proud to be Mexican as well as American. Thanks for the video.

People of Mexican heritage are the largest identifiable single group in the United States.

A very diverse group of people with with many ethnic backgrounds, kind of like Americans

What a great video. Americans were ignorant, ignorant, ignorant about the map of Texas and the western territories. The discovery of gold in California occurred with Anza long before Marshall was born. Everything after that was propaganda. The South was meeting to build a railroad to California, but was sidetracked by the North's commencement of the Civil War. An American officer named Emory laid out the boundary line with Mexico. It took blood, sweat, and tears to walk that thing across. And he deserves the credit for the work. Thanks for your work.

@railway8809 Wow that poor Emory, I hope the poor señor wasn't traumatised. 🌵🪴🍷😲 🌺🌵

New video uploaded from my favorite geography youtuber just when I was reading a book about the history of the border between Mexico and the US, talking about these exact topics. A welcomed coincidence.

Glad I found your site.With all the errors on the early maps,too bad they didn't have someone like David Thompson, fur traders for the Hudson's Bay Company.His maps were incredibly accurate.Thomas Jefferson showed one to Meriweather Lewis,before his journey to the mouth of the Columbia River.

@GeographyGeek 3 месяца назад

I’m glad you found me! I actually talk a bit about David Thompson in my Lewis and Clark videos. I may make a video dedicated to him at some point.

They should have lowered the border, allowing Arizona a coastline.

Neat little history tidbits in here. We could have had Baja? The French wanted Sonora? Major land purchases. Is it too late to buy Greenland? 😁

@claramente8087 Месяц назад

It was not negociated. The line was imposed there because the density of chicanos population under the line was too much for the wasp power....to push the line down more.

@alfredmontestruc5466 4 месяца назад

It is not stealing from you, if you don’t legitimately own it. Ownership of land comes from exploration, occupation and use of the land. The Indians of those parts of North America were the legitimate owners - not Mexico.

@GeographyGeek 4 месяца назад

Don’t look to much into the title. It’s a play on words from a popular RU-vid video How the US Stole Mexico. Just showing people this video adds to that story.

@geraldmeehan8942 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the video. Mexico would be an international superpower if not for it's territorial losses to US

Most Mexicans want to be in the U.S. anyways, the U.S. should have just annexed Mexico.

@Badger1776 4 месяца назад

What border?

@c.r.5106 4 месяца назад

@TroutWest 4 месяца назад

Not accurate at all.. but this is the power of social media. If it's on RU-vid, it must be true

We could’ve had all of Baja and Sonora? We could’ve been the home of fish tacos?

@jimmydee1130 4 месяца назад

The new nation of Mexico had little use for it. They viewed it as 1500 miles away by horseback, populated by hostiles, mostly wasteland, with only a few thousand Spaniards in Santa Fe and Californios - and they wanted to be left alone anyhow.

@xmalin1 4 месяца назад

You realize what you've stated still applies to this day, right?

@rogeliovaldez6594 4 месяца назад

Little use? A literal war was fought. 100,000 mexicans called it home. Them wanting more autonomy and having it had been the status quo since independence. It wasn't too different from states rights in the US and people identifying with their state

Spaniards in Santa Fe? 😂😂😂😂😂 those people were mostly mestizos of the local Indians and Europeans or even hispanized indians, few Spaniards went there a wasteland for them, most choose to go to either Lima or Mexico city
