The Mexican's who decided to become American citizens and stay in the conquered territories after we defeated Mexico, actually benefited from our victory. The railroad brought more trade and settlers and technology, the lands were developed much faster bringing profit and economic activity as well as stabability which the Mexican's were always unable to obtain. As usual, our enemies alwaysxend up in a better place when we defeat them!
Gosh I love the story of American expansionism. It brings a prideful tear to my eyes.

Although indigenous peoples may profoundly disagree.
