The Mexican cession was the outcome of the Mexican American war.

The most important long term result of the Mexican-American War wasn't the expansion of the United States by a third (if including Texas), but the experience gained by the American officers that fought in the war. I believe this because the same officers that fought in the Mexican-American War also fought in the American Civil War, which if it weren't for the Mexican-American War the officers in the Civil War might have had different tactics, which could have lead to a different outcome of the Civil War. This alternative outcome would have been the Southern United States successfully succeeding from the Union and the eventual takeover of the Northern and Southern United States by Britain, Spain, and France.
Texas became an official state of the United States of America.

This sounds like a trick question: the Alamo fell nearly a decade BEFORE the Mexican War. The Mexican War pitted the USA against Mexico (April/May 1846-Feb 1848); the Alamo was part of the Texas war for independence from Mexico (Alamo: Feb-March 1836). That question is sort of like asking "how did the outcome of the Battle of Verdun affect the rest of WWII?" True, but I think the question is how did the Alamo affect the outcome of the Texas Revolution and in that respect the outcome at the Alamo leaves Santa Ana overconfident and he splits his forces in front of Sam Houston leading to a defeat at San Jacinto.
