Sir, I respect your disagreement. I don't see why this issue has blown up to the way it is, other than the fact that you seem to not accept a documented historical fact. Is it false that when the US gained control of the land in question during the Mexican Cession, that there was not a transfer of funds in compensation as a result of that treaty? No. Is it correct to say that that compensation was just? Probably not, depends on who you talk to. In my opinion, probably not (but I wasn't there at the time). Furthermore, to claim there was a systematic expansion of the US to lands occupied by the Spanish (and then Mexican) is to ignore land purchases from the French, disputes with the British, not to mention every Native American tribe from the Chippewa to the Tulalip. Although I am not a historian in the official sense, I do study to become an educator of the subject and have devoted time and energy to the subject. I've learned one thing in my studies and that is to look at an issue as an outsider, study it subjectively, and to not read too much into an issue. CascadiaTALK | HISTORY 22:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
