Problem
What did the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo stipulate? Why and what about it is significant? What did the United States gain? What did Mexico gain? What did Mexico lose? How did the treaty affect the Mexicans who chose to remain in their lands and, thus, in a new country? What did these "new Americans" gain, and what did they lose? Pay particular attention to Article VIII and Article IX of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. Did the U.S. honor the treaty? Explain your answer and provide facts.
