There are several reasons why it was difficult for New Mexico to become a state. Firstly, the majority of the population in New Mexico consisted of Hispanic settlers who had a different language, culture, and traditions than the Anglo-American settlers in the Eastern states. This created a cultural and language barrier between New Mexico and the rest of the United States, making it harder to integrate and assimilate. Secondly, New Mexico's remote location and lack of infrastructure made it challenging to establish effective transportation and communication networks with the rest of the country. This hindered economic development and slowed down the overall progress of the territory. Additionally, the presence of Native American tribes and their territorial claims posed challenges to the establishment of solid boundaries and governance within the territory. All these factors contributed to the barriers New Mexico faced in its journey towards statehood.

Striking out Article X from the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo had a significant impact on generational landowners during the territorial period in New Mexico. Article X guaranteed the protection of land grants and property rights to Mexican residents in the newly acquired territories. However, with the removal of Article X, the validity of these land grants and property rights became uncertain. Many generational landowners, who had possessed and worked on these lands for years, faced challenges and potential loss of their properties. This lack of legal protection led to disputes, court cases, and even land grabs by speculators, jeopardizing the livelihood and heritage of these generational landowners. The removal of Article X had a profound and lasting impact on their lives and the preservation of their ancestral lands.

The Santa Fe Ring was a group of influential individuals, including politicians, lawyers, and businessmen, who held significant power and influence in New Mexico during the late 19th century. They were accused of engaging in corrupt practices and exploiting the natural resources and government contracts of the territory for personal gain. The members of the Santa Fe Ring were accused of bribery, land fraud, and manipulation of the legal system to their advantage. They controlled politics, manipulated elections, and used their positions to amass wealth and power. Their actions led to widespread public outrage and calls for reform in New Mexico.
