Most of the land grants from the Mexican government were revived by the U.S. government following the Mexican-American War, particularly through the 1851 Land Act in California. This act aimed to resolve land title disputes and recognize land grants made by Mexico before the war. Additionally, various court cases and legal frameworks in the years following the war helped to affirm and restore these grants to their original recipients or their descendants.
The Mexican government awarded large grants of land in California primarily to Californio settlers, who were Mexican citizens living in the region, and to immigrants who were encouraged to settle there, including Anglos and other foreign nationals.

Additionally, influential individuals, such as military officers and political leaders, were often recipients of significant land grants to foster loyalty to the Mexican government.

The original Texans went to Texas because they wanted to have slaves and they felt that slavery would be made illegal in the United States. The Mexican government offered them land grants and backed slavery. Much later the Mexican government changed its mind on slavery and told the Americans they couldn't have slaves.
