Key Events Plan: Push Mexicans out of Texas and Southwest then invade Mexico Gen. Zachary Taylor invaded disputed area and provoked Mexican forces to attack This allowed Polk to get Congress to declare War and Taylor invaded Mexico

Discuss What are the causes of the war? Were the causes justified? What do you predict will be the consequences of the war?

Key Events Bear Flag Revolt: Americans in California revolt against Mexican control and become a free nation (Bear Flag Republic) Gen. Winfield Scott joined with Gen. Taylor and forced their way into Mexico City forcing Mexico to surrender.

Effects Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo: Ended the Mexican American War Mexican Cession: Mexico gave up control of the Southwest and California to America (included 5 future states) America completed its Manifest Destiny All land between Atlantic and Pacific was American Gadsden Purchase: US purchased land from Mexico for a transcontinental railroad

New American West Oregon: Border settled with Britain at 49th Parallel California: Gold found, created Gold Rush “forty-niners”: people who rush to California for opportunities Clipper ships invented to make transportation faster Huge boost to U.S. economy Wilmot Proviso: Failed attempt by North to limit slavery in new lands west; upsets south Moving West: Trails took settlers west Oregon Trail Mormon Trail: Mormons (Christian group) escaped persecution Blazed the trail for later settlers
