North America 172 years ago today: Siege of Veracruz (09 Mar 1847) https://buff.ly/2NSCSBY Despite the US victories in the north, the Mexican army remained intact. Rather than continuing to march south, the US decided to bypass these forces by mounting an amphibious landing at Veracruz and marching west into the Mexican heartland. With Mexico unable to send reinforcements in time, Veracruz fell to a 20-day siege. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1847 #americanhistory #california #march #march9 #mexicanhistory #mexicanamericanwar #mexico #mexicanwar #mexicancession #manifestdestiny #texas #unitedstates #newmexico #veracruzcity #maps #usmexicanwar #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #ushistory #historybuff #historynerd #historygeek #usexpansion (at Veracruz) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxyGt_gnkM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lo04gfarsj75

North America 170 years ago today: California Gold Rush (11 Feb 1849) https://buff.ly/2I5tBaD Just days before the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in California. Despite attempts to keep the find secret, word spread across the country, reaching the East Coast by August. Over the following years some 300,000 people from all around the world traveled to California by land and sea in the first of the great gold rushes of the 19th century. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1849 #americanhistory #ushistory #californiagoldrush #goldrush #canadianhistory #britishempire #february #february11 #mexicanwar #mexicanamericanwar #mexicancession #mexicanhistory #suttersmill #goldrushes #oregoncountry #comanche #19thcentury #victorianera #49er #maps #todayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek (at Coloma, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btu5RI2Ah02/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9iemgst46jyw

North America 172 years ago today: Northern Mexican Theater (19 Nov 1846) https://buff.ly/2QGhIHW In contrast to the swift conquest of the west, the much larger US campaign in northern Mexico was being slowed by disease, bitter urban warfare and substantial Mexican resistance. Eventually, though, US forces began to prevail, capturing Monterrey and a string of northern cities. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1846 #americanhistory #california #canadianhistory #mexicanhistory #mexicanamericanwar #mexicancession #november #november19 #ushistory #maps #manifestdestiny #usexpansion #usexpansionism #TodayInHistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #imperialism #texanhistory #californiarepublic #mexicanwar (at Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqWlSuuAsj_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ashx3bnyjrjf

North America 172 years ago today: Conquest of California & New Mexico (18 Aug 1846) https://omniatlas.com/maps/northamerica/18460818/ At the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the US had sent a cavalry force to cross the continent and a naval squadron into the Pacific, intending both forces to meet in the Mexican territory of Alta California. However the local Mexican governors offered minimal resistance and both California and the neighboring territory of New Mexico fell well before the US forces could unite. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1846 #americanhistory #august #august18 #california #mexicancession #america #mexicanhistory #mexicanamericanwar #mexico #newmexico #usa #unitedstates #maps #manifestdestiny #imperialism #war #arizona #utah (at Santa Fe, New Mexico)

North America 167 years ago today: Compromise of 1850 (09 Sep 1850) http://omniatlas.com/maps/northamerica/18500909/ With its population booming, California wanted to join the Union as a free state - naturally antagonizing the slave states. After lengthy debate, the Compromise of 1850 was agreed upon: California would be accepted as a free state and the newly created territories of Utah and New Mexico would be allowed to vote on the issue of slavery. Texas also agreed to abandon its substantial claims in the Mexican Cession in return for the payment of its debts. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #1850 #1850s #americanhistory #california #canadianhistory #centralamerica #colorado #greatbritain #iowa #kansas #maps #mexicancession #mexicanhistory #mexico #minnesota #newmexico #nicaragua #oklahoma #panama #september #september9 #texas #unitedstates #utah #wisconsin #wyoming (at Sacramento, California)
