Talk:Mexican Cession
From Academic Kids
I adjusted the edit regarding Texas. Although that area was specified as part of the U.S. in the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, it is not regarded as part of the "Mexican Cession" per se (at least by the U.S.), since the U.S. already had claimed it since December 1845, after the Texas Annexation. It's definitely worth mentioning, but not as part of the territory of the MC, since the term is a U.S. history term. -- Decumanus 22:37, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I was thinking about changing the image used. This one looks better:

what do you think?
- What's the copyright status of that map? It's a nice map, no denying that, but Decumanus's is GFDL. (Wikipedia:Fair use: "Always use a more free alternative if one is available"). –Hajor 18:05, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)
