@ArmesPryein HOW THE HELL DID YOU PAUSE IT THAT QUICKLY???!!!

@rosrychaplet its not even when ca became a state, we got the territory in 1848, from the mexican cession, so yea, we got alot of land way before we actually made then a state, jsut the time it took for them and the leaders in that area to join the union. . .
-
@LeeGeorge08 you know what the mexican cession is, the area of land that mexico signed over to the us after losing the american-mexican war in 1848, 15 years prior to that mexico bearly won its independence from france, so most of the territory they only occupied for 15 years as a country, wasn't even that much, next time don't lose the war
-
@lapicsie the mexican cession was in 1848, which gave ca, nev, ari, nm, states to the u.s. from losing the american-mexican war, so this was america then, sry you lost the war
-
It is claimed that Roundhay Garden Scene is the oldest movie, but if that date is correct, THIS is older!

-
@lapicsie california became a state of the union in 1850 idiota. estupido.
-
@lapicsie dude shut up
-
You would of been so fucking cool if you had a bike back then
-
It was in the late 1840's when Mexico lost the war and lost the western states thus including California. This is decades later! This picture shows maybe a bit of the Mexicans that stayed but definitely not all Mexican.
