    Marcela Terrazas examines the expansionist vocation of the United States towards Baja California and the northwest of Mexico by military occupations, filibusteros (freebooters) and the so called "claims" with the purpose of establishing a new frontier to end the British financial prevalence and impulse the commerce with Asia. There was an annexation appetite, stopped by internal contradictions between northern and southern United States that first materialized in the territory and after the Secession war in the markets.
