Document Summary
Borders are closely linked with the governance of states, their international relations, and the make-up of their populations. Focus on either the us-mexican or the canada-us border. Borders since the 1800"s have transformed significantly within its use and creation. In the early 19th century borders included continent-wide networks, no fortified borders, or private property regime. Each structure within the borders defined the way people traded, and who was considered american, canadian or mexican. This involvement of borders eventually evolved overtime due to such changes in society, security, an excessive amount of illegal immigration, and technology. The 1800"s and earlier included massive amounts of trade between tribes in north. The difference though is how continent-wide networks have tremendously evolved since these times. Canada, the us and mexico now consist of provinces and borders between countries. These borders define the way products are owned by canada, etc.
