question 10 of 10
as a result of the signing of the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo:
a. mexico agreed to a texas - mexico border line north of the rio grande.
b. slavery was banned in territories acquired by the united states during the mexican - american war.
c. president james polk sent troops into texas to add the region as a new state.
d. mexico was forced to give a large portion of its territory to the united states.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Guadalupe - Hidalgo ended the Mexican - American War. Under this treaty, Mexico was compelled to cede a vast territory to the United States, which included present - day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Option A is incorrect as the border was set at the Rio Grande. Slavery was not a provision of this treaty, so Option B is wrong. Sending troops into Texas to add it as a state happened before the treaty, so Option C is incorrect.

Answer:

D. Mexico was forced to give a large portion of its territory to the United States.
