Article XI offered a potential benefit to Mexico in that the US pledged to suppress the Comanche and Apache raids that had ravaged northern Mexico and pay restitutions to the victims of raids it could not prevent. However the Indian raids did not cease for several decades after the treaty although a cholera epidemic reduced the numbers of the Comanche in 1849. Robert Letcher U.S Minister to Mexico in 1850 was certain "that miserable 11th article" would lead to the financial ruin of the US if it could not be released from its obligations the US was released from all obligations of Article XI five years later by Article II of the Gadsden Purchase of 1853. The prospect of disenfranchisement caused immediate concern One voice from a public meeting in January 1801 before the bill's passage compared their situation to those who fought against British taxation without representation in the Revolutionary War -- 20 years prior. Despite these complaints the bill went into effect as written Given exclusive and absolute political control Congress did not act to restore any of these rights until the 1960s the District still has no voting representation in Congress and the decisions of its long-sought local government established in 1973 are still subject to close Congressional review annulment and budget control, On January 29 1850 Senator Henry Clay introduced a plan which combined the major subjects under discussion His legislative package included the admission of California as a free state the cession by Texas of some of its northern and western territorial claims in return for debt relief the establishment of New Mexico and Utah territories a ban on the importation of slaves into the District of Columbia for sale and a more stringent fugitive slave law. Clay had originally favored voting on each of his proposals separately but Senator Henry S Foote of Mississippi convinced him to combine the proposals regarding California's admission and the disposition of Texas's borders into one bill. Clay hoped that this combination of measures would convince congressmen from both North and South to support the overall package of laws even if they objected to specific provisions. Clay's proposal attracted the support of some Northern Democrats and Southern Whigs but it lacked the backing necessary to win passage and debate over the bill continued. 1.3 Education Manning Force 3 Passage 2.2 California 2 History In 1800 Spain's colonial province of Texas (Tejas) had few inhabitants with only about 7,000 non-Indian settlers the Spanish crown developed a policy of colonization to more effectively control the territory After independence the Mexican government implemented the policy granting Moses Austin a banker from Missouri a large tract of land in Texas Austin died before he could bring his plan of recruiting American settlers for the land to fruition but his son Stephen F Austin brought over 300 American families into Texas. This started the steady trend of migration from the United States into the Texas frontier Austin's colony was the most successful of several colonies authorized by the Mexican government the Mexican government intended the new settlers to act as a buffer between the Tejano residents and the Comanches but the non-Hispanic colonists tended to settle where there was decent farmland and trade connections with American Louisiana which the United States had acquired in the Louisiana Purchase rather than further west where they would have been an effective buffer against the Indians. !
