The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and its impact on territorial acquisition, differing viewpoints, and the implications for slavery expansion in the U.S. are key historical aspects discussed between Manuel C. Rejón, Bernardo, Manuel de la Peña y Peña, and Nathan Clifford.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was a significant agreement that ended the Mexican-American War. There were divergent views on the treaty between Manuel C. Rejón and Bernardo, with Rejón supporting it to avoid renewed war risks with the United States, while Bernardo potentially had concerns about the territorial losses for Mexico.
Manuel de la Peña y Peña, President of Mexico during the treaty's ratification, believed in supporting the treaty to prevent further conflicts with the United States. On the other hand, Nathan Clifford, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, explained the alterations in the treaty made by the U.S. Congress in the Querétaro Protocol.
The aftermath of the treaty led to questions on slavery expansion in newly acquired territories like California and New Mexico, fueling sectional tensions in the U.S. notably evident in the Compromise of 1850, eventually leading to the Civil War.
