1 Throw using the elbow, not the wrist or shoulder. 2  Try to throw the ball about as high as the top of your head. 3  Watch the ball as it reaches its peak in the air, picture where it will land, and then hold your other hand under it. 4  Do not reach up to catch the ball; the ball will come down to you.
The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended and specified the major consequence of the war: the Mexican Cession of the territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo MÃ©xico to the United States. The US agreed to pay $15 million to pay the physical damage of war.
Mexican-American soldiers fought in every major battle during the war and in every branch of the U.S. armed forces. What they achieved, what they endured, what they lost and what they gained should not be forgotten.
