' Moyano Pahissa, Ángela. “Violaciones al Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo: las tribus indígenas”. 1985 (2):25-33.'institutomora.edu.mx Many dozens more works exist of course, probably hundreds .... history is, as they say, written by the victors, but in this case the vanquished were not completely wiped out, nor all their lands stolen, so there is history available from them as well ... not a great deal of detail is available on events in Alta California in the 1847-50 period due to rapid and near-complete ethnic cleansing in the area, but some authentic records exist, in which volumes i do not recall The instituto from which comes the above page, btw, is named for Dr José María Luis Mora, who with Valentín Gómez Farías would have made excellent allies for any estadounidense at the time who had wished to actually live up to those fine words of the Jeffersons, and who would have had the political weight to be able to do so Many google hits appear with the following four-word entry - violaciones tratado guadalupe hidalgo Many with the english version as well - violations treaty guadalupe hidalgo ... here is one - jump.net The truth is out there, for those interested in the truth, and who can handle the truth .... everything about this has long been known in México, and in the latinos countries in general ... that any of the core of it comes as a shock to others elsewhere, could be seen as sad comment on their systems of education Slavery was the principal issue - it was illegal in México from the 1820s, in the US it was both legal and central to the economy .... the move by slaver interests to annex Cuba as well was very much associated, there were US politicians supporting both causes, or rather both annexations as a single cause ... there are works from quite early on which go into this, and likely the Instituto Mora above would have them listed
