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.
In 1845, America tried buying huge parts of Mexican land that included present day California and New Mexico. When Mexico refused to part with its land, America tried using force. Mexico and America both maintained that the border was theirs. This led to the beginning of the Mexican America War that would last for two years (1846-48). America won the war decisively. Mexico had to give up California, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona.
