Answer:

Gadsden Purchase

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gadsden Purchase was the 1853 treaty that gave the land required for a southern transcontinental railroad in America. It also tried to settle disputes that continued after the Mexican-American War. The United States got land from Mexico to build a rail line in southern Arizona and New Mexico.
