Victory in the Mexican-American War led to significant territorial gains for the United States, but it also exacerbated tensions over slavery. The acquisition of new lands raised contentious debates about whether these territories would be slave or free states, contributing to the sectional divide between the North and South. Additionally, the war and its aftermath fueled anti-American sentiment in Mexico and set a precedent for future U.S. Imperialism. Thus, while the U.S. emerged victorious, the consequences of the war sowed discord both domestically and internationally.
