The transition from "Mexican" Southwest to the "American" Southwest (1848-1900) includes the role played by Mexican Americans as one of many ethnic and European minority/immigrants groups in the making of modern America from 1850-1900, through the roaring 20's, the Depression, W.W.II, into the 1960's to the present.
