territorial changes 1848
Important provisions of the treaty were
the Rio Grande River became the boundary line between Texas and Mexico (as Texas had claimed)
the boundary then was extended to just south of San Diego, giving California, Arizona and New Mexico to the U.S.
in consideration of its boundary extensions, the United States government paid Mexico $3,000,000 at once and $12,000,000 with 6 percent interest on later dates
the United States agreed to satisfy unpaid claims by Americans against the Mexican government and would exonerate Mexico from all claims made by American citizens prior to the date of the treaty. The United States assuming responsibility for the payment of the undecided claims to the extent of $3,250,000
the property rights enjoyed by the Hispanic population under Mexican rule would be respected by the United States, and the inhabitants would have one year to return to Mexico or stay and become full-fledged American citizens
Texas previously had claimed parts of the vast area the United States acquired by this treaty, but Mexico now for the first time surrendered them formally. Including these, the new acquisitions comprised all the territory later to be admitted to the Union as the states of Nevada, California, New Mexico, and Utah, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming. Results
All the Hispanic residents of the new territories became full American citizens. A few officials returned to Mexico but most residents stayed and prospered. Legal disputes over the last-minute land grants handed out by the Mexican government tied up the courts for decades. California was a sleepy distant underpopulated land at the start of the war. But gold in northern California brought 100,000 miners, and the area became a state in 1850. The Californios (Latinos) lived on ranches in southern California and were little affected by the gold rush.
