The major problem that Hispanic Americans in the Southwest faced was **white settlers taking their land from them**. After the U.S. annexation of territories, many Hispanic landowners lost their land due to legal and economic pressures from Anglo settlers. This was a significant issue during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
