what year was the gadsden purchase acquired
The new treaty reduced the amount paid to Mexico to $10 million and the land purchased to 29,670 square miles, and removed any mention of Native American attacks and private claims. President Pierce signed the treaty and Gadsden presented the new treaty to Santa Anna, who signed it on June 8, 1854. After Gadsdenâs Purchase a new border dispute caused tension over the United Statesâ payment, and the treaty failed to resolve the issues surrounding financial claims and border attacks.
