Gadsden Purchase - Give it Back to Mexico!
How different would the US be today without the Gadsden Purchase (in yellow below)? The largest city in the area, Tucson, Arizona would be a part of Mexico. That means the University of Arizona would not exist and all of Lute Olson's great basketball teams would never had taken the court.source
The US Govt. paid 33 cents an acre for all that yellow land down there, and if you ask me its about 33 cents too much. People of Southern Arizona, we don't think you suck. We think the UofA sucks! Giving back the Gadsden Purchase to Mexico is best way to get rid of it, and I am sorry that you are grouped in (especially San Manuel high school and Oracle, home of Trent Brown. Trent struck out 22 of 24 batters in an 8 inning game, and was 16-0 in 1993 and won like 29 straight games!)
