Ethnically speaking, by 1900 New Mexico was more Mexican than American; however the white minority had a hold on all positions of influence -- including politics and economy -- making New Mexico an American territory.
New Mexico had been acquired from Mexico since the end of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). By 1900, it had already adopted the American law and traditions, but the Mexican population represented 60% of the territory's population, followed by Caucasians (23%) and Native Americans (17%).
