Manifest Destiny and Expansion · US History

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) resulted in all of the following EXCEPT:

  1. The United States payment of $15 million to Mexico
  2. Mexico's recognition of the Rio Grande as the Texas border
  3. The United States acquisition of the territories of California and New Mexico
  4. The immediate admission of California to the Union as a slave state
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The immediate admission of California to the Union as a slave state

The treaty ended the war and ceded the Mexican Cession to the U.S., but it did not address the status of slavery in those territories. California's admission as a state did not occur until the Compromise of 1850, and it entered as a free state.
