territory (known as the Mexican Cession of 1848), extending the
nation's borders all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Texas claimed the
eastern part of this new territory, comprising parts of present-day
Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming and Oklahoma. The
resulting dispute among Texas, the federal government, and New
Mexico Territory was resolved in the Compromise of 1850, when
