Not at all. The territories won over from Mexico were present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
The war was fought with Mexico who had been ceded this territory by Spain.
California, Arizona, New Mexico,Texas, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , 1848
Mexico.By the mid-1840s, United States expansionism was expressed in terms of "Manifest Destiny". Texas was annexed in 1845, and in May 1846, after a Mexican cavalry detachment attacked a U.S. patrol in disputed territory, Congress declared war on Mexico. After its defeat, Mexico-in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo-recognized the boundaries claimed by Texas (including the Rio Grande) and ceded California, Arizona, New Mexico and portions of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming to the United States.
Mexico did, after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
1848.
Kentucky was not ceded from another country, but it was ceded from another state. It became independent from Virginia ins 1792.
California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, and parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, plus renunciation of claims on the former territory of the Republic of Texas (now Texas and parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming).
Probably the biggest issue of the day had to do with the huge amount of land the United States had acquired over the previous few years and whether or not slavery would be allowed to spread west into the new territories. The new land was acquired through three different sources:One was the annexation of Texas, which had declared its independence from Mexico about a decade earlier but had been requesting to become part of the United States.Another was the HUGE part of Mexico that was ceded to the United States for $15,000,000 after Mexico lost the Mexican-American War (Mexico used to border Oregon).The third was gaining sole possession of the southern half of the Oregon Country in exchange for giving Great Britain sole possession of the northern half. Previously the United States and Great Britain shared possession of the Oregon Country.
