Answer 1

Answer: Poverty among Mexican Americans who had lost their land

Explanation: One long-term effect of American actions in the lands the country claimed after the Mexican American War is that there is "Poverty among Mexican Americans who had lost their land"

Following the end of the Mexican-American war in early 1848. Mexican Americans with land ownership lost their land to the federal government of the United States.

Therefore, they were left with no land as a means of generating income particularly for farming to make money.

Hence, the majority of these people plunged into hardship and eventually poverty.
