Answer :

The statement which best shows how Polk's presidential promises were supported by the outcome of the Mexican-American War is, A. As a result of the Mexican-American War, Texas became part of the United States.

What was the outcome of the Mexican-American War ?

Polk sought to claim territory in California, New Mexico, and close to Texas's contentious southern border. But Mexico was hesitant to cede control of these areas. Polk initially made an attempt to purchase the land.

The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo formally put an end to the Mexican-American War. California, New Mexico, and the disputed area of Texas were all given to the United States. $15 million was given to the Mexican government, the same amount given to France for the Louisiana Territory.

When Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 after losing the war, it ceded control of the region known as the Mexican Cession (which now includes California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico). The United States has finally fulfilled its manifest destiny dream.

The outcome of this Mexican - American War, therefore supported the promises that Polk made, to receive Texas, and other territory.
