The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, promised to protect the property rights and civil liberties of Mexican landowners in the territories ceded to the United States, including New Mexico and California. However, the U.S. government and local authorities often failed to uphold these guarantees, leading to widespread land disputes and the dispossession of many Mexican landowners. The lack of enforcement of property rights and the imposition of new legal systems contributed to the marginalization of the Mexican-American populace in these regions.
