    Those states you mentioned belonged to Spain for longer than Mexico. Juan Ponce DeLeon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513 and St Augustine was founded in 1565, before Plymouth, or Jamestown. Heck, even before Roanoke. Texas was founded in like 1520 (I forgot by who and then the fort/Presidio near San Antonio Villa de Bexar was founded about a century later, in 1718. Juan Cabrillo landed in Modern SanDiego in 1542, but that wasn't a Presidio until 1769. So Spain held the US SW etc from 1513 (Florida)/1520 (Texas etc) onward until Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was in 1848, So Mexico only owned the US SW for 27 years, Spain, over 300.

      The Southwest was apart of colonial Mexico (New Spain) the entire time it was ruled by spain. It was administered/ruled by Mexico City. The people and land were Mexican that entire time during the spanish colonial period. Everyone regardless of their racial heritage that was born in New Spain/Mexico during the colonial period was called Mexican by everyone. Maps of colonial Mexico during that period were titled as "Nueva espana o Mexico" because the whole world throughout the colonial period understood that New Spain from California to the Yucatan = Mexico.
      That is why it's totally understandable that when Mexico gained independence from spain so did the Southwest because it was Northern Mexico. The people of the Southwest during the colonial period were Mexican and very few of them were of full blooded European descent. Only a handful were actually from spain and most of them were expelled a few years after independence.

    Excellent video, and what I'm about to say isn't a knock on Briggs. It's a general observation regarding how the US categorizes ethnic groups. Only in the US is "Latino" considered ONLY Latin America. The rest of the world isn't so ignorant regarding ethnic groups. Latino is a form of "Latin" which refers to any people of Latin Language Origins (The Romance Languages) which would include all the Latin American peoples as well as people of Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Romanian heritage. For example, saying an Italian (in particular) isn't Latin is like saying a Lion isn't a member of the cat family. That Italian's Roman Ancestors spoke Latin. You can't be any more Latin than that.

    Mexican is not a race, but nationality which includes the culture and customs. Latinos/Hispanics are ethnic groups which includes people from Mexico.

    Please give my regards to your Mexican wife - I believe you did mention in a previous video that you had a Mexican wife, don't you? You covered this subject very intelligently and compassionately, thank you. It really came as no surprise to me that the top 4 states on this list were all the states that share a border with Mexico. Or that all three West Coast states had a large Mexican population. Let's see - California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas were all once part of Mexico and New Spain, I believe. Heck - the last four digits of my cell phone number spell out the year that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed!

    Briggs, love the video but I find it ironic that your title is Top 10 Most Mexican States, and yet most of your footage is of non-Mexican folks. What's up with that my man?
