  • What happened to the original Hispanic settlers of the American Southwest? The American Southwest, a region which includes most of the region of the Mexican Cession like New Mexico, California, Nevada, Colorado as well as Texas, is a diverse mix of Anglo-Americans, Hispanics and various indigenous groups such as the Apache, Comanche, Navajo and Puebloans. Before Texan independence and the American annexation of Northern Mexico, a couple hundred thousand Hispanic settlers of Spanish and Mestizo origin called this region home along with a smaller number of Hispanicized natives. After the annexation by the United States, these Hispanics became US citizens and have a very interesting history contributing to the unique cultural fabric found in this part of the country. In today's video we're going to be discussing the history of these first Hispanics in America so let me know your thoughts on these different groups such as the Nuevomexicanos, Californios, Tejanos, Floridianos and Islenos of Louisiana (not discussed in the video).

      Yeah we forced Spain to cede Guam and Purto Rico to the United states in a treaty. After the Spanish American war in 1898. My 7th great grandfather father fought in that war and spanked the Spanish. And had some Purto Rican babies before he left that island with The all-Black Company L of the 6th Massachusetts Regimental National Guard who fought in Puerto Rico.

    I'm a Hispano of Northern New Mexico USA a Nuevo Mexicano, a Native New Mexican my family predates the United States entirely in fact we have no family and never had no family south of the border. I would not say i am a descendant of Spaniards I am a Native American mixed with Spanish. Anglos try and make us forget about our Native identity but I will always be proud of it. I can enroll in a tribe also. Our food is regional variation of Mexican food essentially with a twist. We make tacos and enchiladas and make sopapillas and biscochitos we eat lots of red and green chile. It's a combination of Spanish and Native food. We have mariachis up too. If you look up my ancestry it doesn't trace me back to Spain it traces me back to Northern New Mexico. You'll find many native Americans have Spanish last names because most of us are mixed. I am half Spanish and half native american (jicarilla apache). We are still here all over New Mexico as well as the entire southwest. Native New Mexicans is what we are specifically. Our family history is rich. We are proud of our culture and heritage and proud to be apart of the history here over 20 generations deep. The saying goes we didnt cross the border the border crossed us. We predate the pilgrims. The true Chicanos because we have been here all along and never left. We are resilient people who have spirits of warriors!
    After the Mexican-American War, Anglo Americans began migrating in large numbers to all of the newly acquired territory. Anglos began taking lands from both Native Americans and Hispanos by different means, most notably by squatting. Squatters often sold these lands to land speculators for huge profits, especially after the passing of the 1862 Homestead Act. Hispanos demanded that their lands be returned but governments did not respond favorably. For example, the Surveyor of General Claims Office in New Mexico would at times take up to fifty years to process a claim, meanwhile, the lands were being grabbed up by the newcomers.
    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo gave the United States undisputed control of Texas, established the Rio Grande River as the United States-Mexican border, and ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Article VIII of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo guaranteed, "In the said territories, property of every kind, now belonging to Mexicans . . . shall be inviolably respected." However, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was not self-executing, and Congress established different adjudication systems, by which Mexican landowners were required to demonstrate the legitimacy of their claims under Spanish and Mexican law to have their rights confirmed by the United States.
    In January 1912, New Mexico became an American state, and Anglophones eventually became the majority population. The state's Hispanos became an economically disadvantaged population, becoming virtual second-class citizens compared to the Anglos. The Hispanos suffered discrimination from Anglophone Americans, who also questioned the loyalty of these new American citizens. The cultures of Hispanos and immigrant Anglophones eventually mixed to some degree, as was the case with immigrants in other parts of the United States."
    Las Vegas NM one of the most disadvantaged in the nation.
    "The median income for a household in the city was $24,214, and the median income for a family was $29,797. Males had a median income of $26,319 versus $21,731 for females. The per capita income for the city was $12,619 as compared to $21,587 nationally as noted in the 2000 Census. In the past, 24.3% of families and 27.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 35.7% of those under age 18 and 20.1% of those age 65 or over. The most recent figures as provided by the U. S. Census Bureau estimate the total number of persons (all ages) at or below the poverty line has increased to 34.4%. This is significantly higher than the national average of 12.7% or the State average of 19.8%."

The British ceded the Floridas back to Spain in 1783, and for the next forty or so years some Floridanos returned from Cuba, and some new Spanish came from elsewhere, but their numbers were always very small, and outside of Saint Augustine and Pensacola there could not have been more than 1,000 at any given time, if even that many. They left almost no genetic impact on the state and after the cessation to the United States in 1821 the population jumped rapidly from probably about 6,000 (My estimate - many of whom were ethnically Anglo already), to 13,000 in the 1825 territorial census, to 34,000 in the 1830 federal census.

      🇪🇸 Creo que el impacto genético hispánico primigenio en general en el continente americano debió ser residual. Los conquistadores eran muy pocos y los indígenas millones. A pesar de los primeros casamientos o cruces con nativas indígenas, los individuos mestizos resultantes si no se cruzaban con blancos porque no habían bastantes y esos mestizos se cruzaban con indigenas; en las siguientes generaciones ese mestizaje se diluía. En siglos posteriores posiblemente llegaron inmigrantes europeos ( españoles, franceses, alemanes, italianos, y otros ) con familias en algunos casos, o sin ella. Posiblemente la población blanca y mestiza actual desciendan de ellos. Los famosos análisis que proliferan por las redes realizados por empresas sobre todo estadounidenses ( Pseudo científicas ) no creo de sean de fiar, ( eso de un trozo Ibérico, otro irlandés, otro pequeño judío, el resto amerindio ) eso no funciona así. Son cromosomas, haplogrupos, etc.

And the Indian ancestors go back thousands of years. One of my great grandfathers owned the land grant that surrounds Taos Pueblo. Another was the first Mexican governor of Nuevo Mexico, Francisco Xavier Chavez, which coincidentally makes Demi Lovato my distant cousin.

    I’m of Tejano and Northern Mexican descent and descended from partial Comanche ancestry and mostly Spanish it’s always interesting to learn about the history. I’ve done a lot of family research and found that my tejano family was actually mixed with the Anglo Americans who moved to Texas, both my great grandfathers parents were mixed, one was an Anglo/german man who married an old stock Tejano Woman from Brownsville. The other great great grandparent was the daughter of a Kentuckian confederate who fled to Mexico and had a baby with an indigenous Nahuatl speaking woman from San Luis Potosí, the couple then fled to Texas in the early 1900s. But it’s cool to see all this history and culture carried on in its own unique way. I’m Proud of my Tejano ancestry even though I was born in California.

      Muslims like to brag how they "ruled Iberia for 800 years. "
      But what they fail to mention is that the Reconquista pretty much started straight away. And that the tiny Christian Kingdoms of the North were not part of Al Andalus. They also fail to mention that by the 12th century (1100s) half of Hispania was back in Indo European Christian hands. And by the mid 13th century 96% of Hispania had been reconquered. They fail to mention that the islamic kingdom of Granada was allowed to remain as long as they paid tribute to the Kingdom of Castile. Until they made the mistake of attacking a Christian settlement in the late 15th century.

    Good recap. Hard to cover all the Hispano communities in one video-for instance the expulsion of Spaniards in the North by Native revolt and the reconquista wherein many families were split and left with nothing as they escaped south to El Paso-only to gather up and fight their way back . One of the only times an indigenous group successfully expelled settlers. The Spanish in New Mexico were extremely isolated and often fought a raiding war with Apaches and Navajo on the frontier. The isolation and constant engagement with the tribes led to a truly unique and American culture which still has a strong thread running through the region today despite Anglicization that leaves much of Eastern New Mexico looking more like Texas.

This Gonzales can be found as early as 1678 in El Paso. My ancestors were in NM for the 1680 revolt, the 1692 reconquest and the last revolt in 1696. I would talk about the Native American side, but all I know about it is my MtDNA.

    • @anaareasfodor
      @anaareasfodor Před 2 dny +1

      Yes. By the definitions of the U.S. government and its policies, it is is referring, quite simply, to what you say: a Spanish speaker or anyone who has any living family, relatives or known ancestors who speak it or spoke it at any time.
      It is true that it has been loaded by the U.S. government's curious way of separating it from everything else that a person can be - anything cultural, or racial, or ethnic that exists cannot be Hispanic, in U.S. Census and other administrative definitions. Its policy is to make it into an ALL-THINGS-IN-ONE kind of thing.
      Inside the U. S. there are no clear definitions.
      Hispanic , in U.S. definition, is just someone -anyone- who either speaks Spanish in any native capacity or whose living family or relatives, or even dead but known-of ancestors spoke Spanish is ANY native capacity.
      There is absolutely no other common thread that I can find, for U.S. definition purposes.
      Culture, race, anything else is irrelevant.
      Whenever I see forms that say "Hispanic/Not White" or "White/Not Hispanic, " I find it nonsensical.
      The terminology :
      Latin /a/o/x is incorrect and not invented by Hispanic peoples or countries, or by Brazilians or Haitians or others ( speakers of Romance languages from this hemisphere)... but with the excuse of linguistic origin, though no form
      ever provided ever says "Anglo/Not Hispanic".... That is because Anglo and Hispanic are not races, cultures, religions, or ethnicities.
      What I find interesting is that, in the U.S., any person may natively speak fluent Polish, Croatian, or Finnish (for example) at home... but it doesn't exempt them from being racially white. 🤔

There were Spanish conquistadors in New Mexico before the pilgrims arrived on the East coast. That blew my mind. I feel like I only learned American history from the English perspective and the Spanish perspective was largely ignored. As New Mexico was cut off from the rest of Mexico, the people here developed their own culture, foods, and dialect. Most people here, even though they look Hispanic and have Hispanic names do not speak any Spanish as they have been assimilated after multiple generations of being in the US. I was hoping to use my Spanish here more,but quickly learned that some of the only Spanish speakers are recent arrivals from south of the boarder. New Mexico has retained this unique culture a lot more than other states where I feel it has been washed out a lot more by large amounts of people moving in. It has been great and I love the food.

    Mexico was Divided and after the Mexican - American war there was the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. European American settlers violated the treaty by annexing Mexican people land’s and burned their deeds. Hence, the reason why we were displaced and have been coming back and becoming a majority. Do not forget, language doesn’t completely identify our ethnicity, we are still Indigenous we just call ourselves Mexicans after we kicked out the Spanish crown. To honor the Mexica / Aztecs, even though we are not just Aztec or Mayan, there are many other Indigenous nations that we mixed with and still mix with today. I’m European, Toltec, Yaqui, Mayo, and Purepecha, but consider myself Mexican, NOT Hispanic or Latino. As my ancestors aren’t from Europe along with the majority of Mexicans.
    Side note, American’s / European American’s speak English but they don’t call themselves English American or British American. The majority of them don’t even have Indigenous genes. Be sure to research both sides of the story without a bias mindset, food for thought.

I went to Old Town, it looks just like any other classic plaza central in Latin America! I found the museums there very interesting to learn about the lives of those early settlers. As for ethinicity, like always, I think us Latinos are way more used to the idea of being very, very diverse (Spanish mixed with Native and a multiplicity of other European nations), so no wonder people can "look" very different but still feel their Hispanic roots.

    As someone with roots in New Mexico and Chihuahua, I'd like to add a few points:
    The issue of land rights for Mexican Americans who became U.S. citizens after the Mexican-American War is often overlooked. Many families lost their lands through intimidation or illegal means, a historical wrong that still impacts communities today.
    The video touches on the mixed heritage of Mexican Americans, but it's worth emphasizing that this mixture of Indigenous and European ancestry creates a unique cultural identity that bridges both worlds. This complexity is often overlooked in discussions about race and ethnicity in the U.S. today.
    While the video mentions discrimination, it's important to note that addressing these historical injustices is crucial for the future stability of the U.S., especially as the Hispanic population grows. This isn't about reparations, but about ensuring equal rights and opportunities.
    The preservation of languages (Spanish and indigenous languages) in the Southwest should be seen as a cultural asset. Offering public services in multiple languages would not only respect the rights of native speakers but also provide economic benefits to border states.
    The legal status of indigenous people, including those of mixed Hispanic-Indigenous heritage, needs to be addressed. The current system, particularly the Bureau of Indian Affairs, limits their access to justice.
    Addressing these issues is not just about righting historical wrongs, but about strengthening the core American values of justice and equality.
    As the video suggests, the Hispano population is gradually assimilating, but preserving their unique cultural heritage and addressing past injustices is crucial for a more unified and just American future for ALL groups.

    I'm Mexican from Los Altos de Jalisco. I can trace my ancestors to the first Europeans that arrived in 1550 to New Spain. I can also trace my ancestors to Cortés and the Alvarado family. You forgot to mention that half of these families were salve owners. Like Toribio Hernández de Arellano my 11th great grand-father. He was also mayor of Santa Maria De Los Lagos. Or the Escoto family starting with Antonio de Escoto y Tovar who was mayor of San Julian and was essential part in investing the miracles of La Virgen de San Juan. As he was only 10 when he saw the first mircle happen. Although very catholic he was also own slaves and his son Antonio Escoto was a slave trader. Or the Padilla family D'Avila who decent from Captain Lorenzo de Padilla D'Avilla a very important family in Spain and in New Spain. These family for generation did not mix with the Native population. I do not I.D as Spanish but North American Mexican as my family were the founding families of New Spain.

    A question Massaman, wouldn't it be better to combine the terms Criollo and Castizo on your map?
    A Castizo is between 75%-87,5% Spanish DNA and a Criollo is 87,5%-100% Spanish DNA, it would seem better to me to use the term Hispanic to encompass the castizos and criollos.

      Well Castizos are often branded Euro Mestizos as a secondary terminology with Balanced Mestizos being what the majority of Hispanics are being 50 50 and then Indio Mestizos that have a second hand title of Cholos then you have various other Non Pure Races to name as well like Harnizos, Pardos, Zambos, Chino Mestizos etc yeah.

    "Settled" on whose land? Geronimo said they killed Mexicans the same as Europeans because they saw them both as invaders.

      Sure. Depended on alliances. Some ethnic Mexicans allied with Indigenous ppls. Others with their mostly white government.

      How would someone like Geronimo have known, with any degree of certainty at all, that Mexicans or Anglo-Americans were foreign or ‘alien’ to North America ? Unless he’d been told, by a someone from outside of his community ?…

    There are also the "Islaneros" in San Antonio. They are the descendants of the Canary Islanders that first settled in San Antonio back in 1731. Overall, an excellent video. 😎👍
