In 1854, The Gadsden Purchase was made and the first draft was signed by James Gadsden.
It was an agreement between The Unites States and Mexico where The US purchased a 29,670-square-mile region of present day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico.
Gadsden wanted to connect all the southern railroads into one section as he felt that the Southern part was suffering due to the increase of railroad construction in the North and this was bypassing all the trading, farming and manufacturing businesses from the South.
Islam spread in a variety of ways. In the beginning, Islam spread through conquest. Muhammad and his followers took the city of Mecca and continued to expand militarily. After, Islam spread mainly through diplomacy and trade. People in the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates were given special privileges for converting to Islam, and Muslim books and missionaries were sent on boats in the Indian Ocean Trade route.
The vast amounts of trade, both on land (primarily through the trans-Saharan trade routes) and sea (through the Indian Ocean Maritime route) allowed for Islam to prosper throughout Asia and Africa. Books were transported, along with newly devout merchants themselves, across the Eastern world. The rich lands of Arabia and Eastern Africa allowed for the Islamic nations to have a strong holding in trade.
