In february 1848, the defeated mexicans made peace with the americans. what did the united states get in return for leaving mexico city and paying $15 million?

In return for the money, the United States got Texas, California, New Mexico, and large areas of Arizona and Nevada. This was great for them because it worked well with the manifest destiny idea and it enabled them to get to the western coast.

Several different things make up a culture like, how the people worship, their form of government, geography, and trade. religion is one of the most important things to a culture, it defines peoples life. their different beliefs form into festivities and events that merge with their culture. people that practice hinduism see cows as gods, so no doubt they would celebrate cows, and these celebrations would definitely merge with their culture. those that are buddhist live life trying to reach a certain level of peace, so no doubt would they change things in their life in order to correspond with their religion.
