The correct response is:
**Because of the changed border, many Mexicans became Americans.**
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted in the United States acquiring a large amount of territory from Mexico through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result, many Mexicans who lived in the newly acquired land became U.S. citizens, significantly increasing the number of Hispanics living in the United States.
