Regarding Manuel de la Peña y Peña. The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo ending the Mexican-American War was initially negotiated and signed on February 2, 1848. The U.S. Congress then further modified the treaty and it was finally ratified on May 30, 1848 in this house by Mexican President de la Peña y Peña. Interestingly, the final treaty makes no mention of Texas or the boundary dispute that the U.S. had used as a provocation to start the war. The war had lasted almost two years and saw Mexico lose almost 55% of her territory. The U.S. gained all or parts of 10 future states at the cost of some 13,000 dead and the payment of $15 million
