This Day in History: , The Southern US Border Is Established.

December 30, 1853.

The treaty, known as the Gadsden Purchase, was signed in Mexico City.

Named after the U.S. Minister to Mexico, James Gadsden, the treaty settled the dispute over the location of the Mexican border west of El Paso, Texas.

For the price of $15 million — later reduced to $10 million — it established the final boundaries of the southern United States.

30,000 square miles of what is now New Mexico and Arizona was included in the purchase.

The land was deemed to be a highly strategic location for the construction of the southern transcontinental railroad.

Eight years later, in 1861, the Southern Pacific branch of the Central Pacific Railroad was established

U.S Election Results: BIG BLOW To Harris, Trump Takes Georgia| Second Battleground Victory for Trump

In a significant development in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, former President Donald Trump has dealt a major blow to Vice President Kamala Harris by capturing Georgia, marking his second major battleground state victory after North Carolina. Trump’s win in Georgia reinforces his momentum, putting him closer to the pivotal 270 electoral votes necessary to reclaim the White House. With the race tightening, Trump’s stronghold across Republican-leaning states like Florida and Texas has given him a substantial lead, while key swing states including Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania remain in contention. Harris has claimed traditionally Democratic states such as California and New York, but Trump’s surge in battleground states has created a challenging scenario for her campaign. #TrumpVsHarris #KamalaHarris #USElectionResult #ElectionResults2024 #HarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrump #TrumpVsHarrisPolls #KamalaHarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrumpVsKamalaHarris #Trump #TrumpVsHarrisDebate #TrumpHarris #KamalaHarrisVsTrumpDebate #Harris #TrumpHarrisDebate #TrumpVsHarrisUSElections
