Trade between Mexico and the United States greatly decreased after the creation of which of the following?

The Transcontinental Railroad
The Santa Fe Trail
Laws to remove Mexican farmers from their land
Mexico gained independence from Spain
A ban on Mexican immigration

Explanation

Answer: B - The Santa Fe Trail, which enabled trade between the newly-formed state of New Mexico and Missouri, essentially ended trade with Mexico. Because the territory that formed the state had previously belonged to Mexico, the creation of New Mexico also engendered a change in national borders, eliminating the need for international trade.
