We are a democracy, that was built on the people, and is represented by the people. <span />
Gasden Purchase--the strip of land purchased from Mexico in 1853 was negotiated by James Gasden.
The US wanted this strip of land to complete the southern branch of the Transcontinental Railroad. Gasden was the minister to Mexico and sent to negotiate the purchase of the land as well as create a final border agreement with Mexican president, Santa Anna.

The decision to declare war was made by Adolf Hitler, apparently offhand, almost without consultation. Later that day, the United States declared war on Germany.
