The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo dramatically alters the geographic and demographic profile of the United States. Many of the Mexican negotiators work hard to assure citizenship rights for the Mexican afuera who live in the territories now part of the United States. Initially land grants are to remain intact, but Polk and the Senate change that clause in the treaty. California goes from being the northern outpost of the Mexican nation in 1846 to statehood in 1850 as a tidal wave of gold-hungry immigrants flood into the territory. New Mexico, in contrast, changes very little, its political and economic leadership retaining its Mexican roots.
