The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, guaranteed certain rights to Mexicans living in the territories ceded to the United States, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. It promised that these individuals would have their property rights respected and that they could choose to become U.S. citizens or retain their Mexican citizenship. Additionally, it aimed to protect their civil rights and ensure their access to the courts. However, the implementation of these guarantees often fell short, leading to significant challenges for Mexican Americans in the years that followed.
