@Aragon10P Yeah! Crazy how so many New Mexico opportunities came from trade.

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

@TKotlisky @MurrahColleen You are right. His label does not give justice to his actual motive. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

@Aragon10P Same, crazy to think all of these countries ended up in the same place, fighting for the same land. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

@arby_40 @staylorHistory I know! And it still took more than half a century. That's messed up #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

@Elizabe84892655 Looking at it now, New Mexico is still a huge place for tourists to this day. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The railroads brought a tourism industry into New Mexico, which also became a huge part of New Mexico's economy. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The railroads brought many sources of opportunity at the time in New Mexico. #nmhist

The murder of Coloradas lead to a knew attitude and resistance for the native people, leading to great leaders like Geronimo. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

Navajo people were forced to leave their homelands and walk hundreds of miles to a knew settlement called Bosque Redondo. This was known as The Long Walk. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

Mangas Coloradas, a Chiricahua leader who sought to make peace with the US military, was executed by the same US soldiers. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The New Mexican, Pueblo, and Indigenous people, whether they liked it or not, had to become US Citizens. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The only way James H. Carleton impacted New Mexico was his attitude toward native people. He treated Native people poorly and refused to understand their way of life when it came to territory. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

When the army of the west first got to New Mexico, they promised peace to nuevomexicanos and pueblos. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

Although the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the US-Mexican war in 1848, much was left unsolved with land and resources. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The war going on between the US and Mexico cause alot of tension between the New Mexican people. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

In the nuevomexicanos society that took place after the reconquista, zambos were known as that of african and indigenous decent. African descended peoples are recorded but rarely mentioned in most histories. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

In 1695 forty-four families moved to the Espanola Valley to live, and later in 1706, thirty-five families moved to Albuquerque. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

To add on to the violent deaths of pueblo people in New Mexico, they also suffered from smallpox plagues every decade. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

The success of the reconquest of New Mexico could not be understood without the events that were happening in the northern frontier of New Spain. #nmhist

[Jason Arnett @JasonAr69332621]

Spanish were able to be in control of New Mexico through violence. This created factionalism between the priests and the governor. #nmhist
