Additional Details

The text of a treaty between Mexico and the United States, intended to settle the longstanding claims of American citizens against Mexico. The arbitration process later fell apart and the claims went unpaid; President Polk would later argue that the military conquest of Mexican territory would be the only way to settle these debts. Signed in type by Presidents Anastasio Bustamante and Martin Van Buren, and others.
