What seemed to be the value of treaties with the Native Americans?
Remember the Treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo? (ended the Mexican American War, included a provision that land rights of Mexicans in the area would be recognized by the US, but 4/5th lost their land)
Every hear of the Burlingame Treaty of 1868? (promised to guarantee government protection for Chinese immigrants)
