In 1848, the area added to the United States was the Mexican Cession, which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado and New Mexico. This expansion followed the Mexican-American War, culminating in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The acquisition significantly increased U.S. territory and fueled debates over slavery's expansion into new states.
