BS. Spanish was spoken in Kali, Texas, and Florida. That’s about it. The rest was English. Very few Spanish speakers were in the rest of the western US.

><

You forgot Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona. Spanish was spoken before English in many parts of those areas. So was French.

Very few Spanish speakers were in those territories. There were many languages spoken including English. So much so, that it is not correct to try to lay claim that they were Spanish speaking territories.

Mexico laid claim to those territories but it did not have much if any presence there.

Since they became states English has been the language.
The Ministry of Propaganda is trying to get US to accept colonization.

tough..... to say, but the Great Southwest was predominantly Indian Language groups, Ute, Navajo, Apache,....and sometimes they didn’t speak Spanish. I would thing the 2nd language after English spoken in the USA was German. All over America there were German settlements, and in the north, it was Swedish and Norwegians. All of them quickly, including the Irish and Italian adapted to their new homeland and learned English. Wonder why it has taken SO LONG for the people in the southern parts of Texas to catch on. Visit Laredo, Texas and see the vast majority of people speak Spanish.
