Question 140 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Why was the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo an issue for Chicano activists?

Answer

It established laws that transferred Mexican-owned land to White surveyors and settlers.

It called for the relocation of Mexicans from their ancestral homelands to the United States.

Its declarations about land ownership in the Southwest United States were vague and confusing.

Its promises to Mexicans inhabiting territory transferred to the United States were not upheld.

Explanation

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American War and transferred a large area of Mexican territory to the United States. It promised that Mexicans living in the transferred lands could retain their property and would receive certain rights, but those promises were often not upheld. This broken commitment became an important issue for Chicano activists, so the best answer is D.
