Have the USA annex North-East Mexico after A-M War

Hey Guys,

After the American-Mexican War have the United States annex all of North-East Mexico, which was itself an ammendment put forward by Jefferson Davies in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. How could you have the Senate support this annexation? As shown in the Representatives it appears that the Democrats support the leadership of the party, thus if the Democratic leaders supported the ammendment could we have this ammendment pass?

P.s. If you must or can think of a way of having this occur within the Gadsden Purchase go ahead and say, especially if it'd be easier.
 
That did happen...?

Ummmm.... The US DID annex about 40% of Mexico at the end of the A-M war. As you can see on this nifty map:

Or do you mean MORE of Mexico?
 
:mad:

Back on topic... have an early demise of slavery, and then the northern States wouldn't be so concerned about slavery expanding into the new territory.
 
You could have an early demise of slavery. You could also have a large influx of immigrants into the North that causes the creation of a far larger number of free states, that requires the U.S. government to annex further territory in order to placate the slave states.

Thanks, I got that much :rolleyes: I did specify about Jefferson's failed amendments and it being the North-East, not just the North and North-West. Wikipedia states his amendments to the Treaty would've also given the USA "Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, all of Coahuila and a large part of Chihuahua".

Thanks for the ideas on getting rid of slavery, however how could you do this without also having major butterflies beforehand? Is there any simpler way?
 
Wouldn't need to get rid of slavery. Annex extra Mexico and then promise the North the entirety of Oregon to balance it.
