On This Day (1/19/1847): In 1847 the Taos Revolt began. This was an effort by Pueblo and Mexican peoples against the United States’ occupation of present-day northern New Mexico. Over the course of the following months, several campaigns took place, during which the United States military killed over 100 Pueblo people, wounded over 250, and captured more than 400. The following year the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States, in which present-day New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado were given to the United States, all without any consent or acknowledgement of the indigenous populations.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is the peace treaty signed in 1848 in Guadalupe Hidalgo between the U.S. and Mexico that ended the Mexican–American War (1846–48). The treaty called for the United States to pay $15 million to Mexico and pay off the claims of American citizens against Mexico up to $3.25 million. It gave the United States the Rio Grande boundary for Texas, and gave the U.S. ownership of California, and a large area comprising New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Mexicans in those annexed areas had the choice of relocating to Mexico or receiving American citizenship with FULL CIVIL RIGHTS; over 90% remained. .. but the land rights and "full civil rights" part was not honored
