After Mexico surrendered, they finally recognized Texas as part of the U.S. and accepted the border of Texas and Mexico as the Rio Grande instead of the Nueces River. In addtion, Mexico ceded a large area of land the incorporated present day New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. The only land of these states aquired after the war are small parts of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Montana.
