Mexican American War A just or unjust war?

Causes Fulfill Manifest Destiny Texas Annexation Border Dispute – Rio Grande vs. Nueces River American Blood shed on American soil Causes

Manifest destiny Belief that God desired for the United States to be a nation that would stretch from “sea to shining sea.”

Texas Annexation Mexico encouraged Americans to settle in the Texas region to encourage farm and trade As Americans settled in Texas they developed their own way of life and some brought slaves (which was illegal in Mexico) The Texans became frustrated with Mexico, had a revolution, and then asked the United States to “annex (accept)” them as a state When the United States annexed Texas, Mexico was outraged

Border Dispute Mexico claimed the Nueces River was the boundary between the United States and Mexico United States claimed the Rio Grande was the border between the United States and Mexico American troops sent to the border to guard…crossed into disputed territory and Mexican troops fired upon them President Polk cries “American blood spilled on American soil.”

People President James K. Polk General Zachary Taylor Ulysses S. Grant Robert E. Lee Santa Anna

Key Events American soldiers killed in the disputed territory $30 million offer for California and New Mexico Battle of Palo Alto

Effects Mexico feels as if this was an unjust war – We stole half their land United States gains California and New Mexico and the border becomes the Rio Grande River United States becomes a continental nation New Land = new opportunities = new problems
