["Among the many issues which strained United States relations with Mexico during the late 19th Century was the Zona Libre, a Mexican free trade zone along the international border. Established in 1858 to halt the commercial decline of Tamaulipas border towns, this district had important social, economic and political repercussions in both Mexico and the United States. For almost 50 years the Zone's existence aroused the ire of American border merchants who charged that it encouraged smuggling and deprived the United States Treasury of millions of dollars annually in import duties.,." - Samuel E.
