Striking out Article X from the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo had a significant impact on generational land owners. This article guaranteed protection of land grants and property rights for Mexican landowners in the newly acquired territories of the United States. By removing this provision, many Mexican landowners saw their lands taken away or disputed by American settlers, leading to loss of generational land ownership and displacement of families. This resulted in further marginalization and economic hardship for these landowners.
