Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Rush-Bagot Treaty has nothing to do with the war with Mexico or the territory acquired from Mexico. It was a treaty between the United States and Britain in 1817 that limited naval armaments on the Great Lakes. The war with Mexico ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which did involve the acquisition of California and New Mexico by the United States and the surrender of Mexican claims to Texas in exchange for $15 million.
