Because of the changed border, many Mexicans became Americans. This shift in borders as a result of the Mexican-American War led to an increase in the number of Hispanics living in the U.S. As territories previously controlled by Mexico, such as California, Texas, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, became part of the United States, the Mexican population residing in these areas became American citizens overnight. This contributed to the growth of the Hispanic population in the U.S. as a result of the war.
