8.6D R

* The new Mexican republic (free from Spain) wanted to draw more people to Texas * Settlers were promised land * These settlers outnumbered Tejanos and often ignored Mexican laws (slavery had been outlawed by Spain in 1652) * Texas revolution began in 1835 * Texas won its independence, but independence was not recognized by Mexico * In 1837 Texas asked the U.S. to annex it – Jackson and Van Buren worried because it supported slavery * New land became a worry to several presidents * John Tyler supported annexation, but did not win re- election

* President Polk quickly set out to acquire new lands. He had a great desire to expand the U.S. * Texas Congress approved the annexation of Texas in 1845 and it became the 28 th state. * This angered the Mexican government * They considered Texas a “stolen province”

* The border of Texas was heavily disputed between Mexico and the U.S. * President Polk sent out General Zachary Taylor with troops to the border to protect from a possible attack * Polk sent diplomats to Mexico City, to see about the border and offer to pay for California, but they refused to meet with them. * A Mexican commander insisted General Taylor remove his troops – Taylor refused * Mexican soldiers attacked, killed 11 Americans, wounded 5, captured the rest * Two days later, Congress declared war * This was considered a “War of Aggression” by many Americans

* U.S. asked for volunteers to fight – got more than needed * First war fought on foreign soil * Americans fought several battles and won the majority * U.S. finally captured the Mexican capital

* This ended the war * Grants the U.S. the Mexican territory of New Mexico, Arizona and California

* The U.S. paid Mexico $10 million to help repay Mexico for the annexation of Texas in 1845 * This fixed the southern border of the U.S. * This also opened up a warmer, southern route to the west.

* In the early 1800s Oregon was occupied by American Indians * Great Britain, Russia, Spain and the U.S. all had claims in this land * 1819 – Adams-Onis Treaty – Spain gave up lands beyond the northern border of what is now California * 1824 – Russia signed a treaty with the U.S. * Many Americans had moved to this land and desired statehood * 1846 – U.S. and Great Britain signed the Oregon Treaty – this set the boundary between the U.S. and Canada

* Rumors of rich farmland, forests, rivers full of fish and a good climate drew many settlers to the West. * It was a long hard journey by wagon train, but many Americans journeyed west.

* The discovery of gold in California sparked a massive immigration to that area

* The rush of settlers pushed many American Indians off their lands * The population of California quickly rises to the amount required for statehood * California’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean led to an increase of Asian immigrants as well Native Americans attacked mining outposts and towns San Francisco A R

* Settlers had many reasons for heading west. * Some moved for a better way of life – more land – freedom from cities * Some moved due to religious persecution (Joseph Smith - Mormons moved to Utah) * Due to the Second Great Awakening – many missionaries moved west to try to convert Native Americans to Christianity

* Wagon Trails West

* The boom of California and the economy of the East required transportation to and from. * The Rocky Mountains were a barrier to travel * The southern route of the Transcontinental Railroad went through the Gadsden Purchase area. Other railroads were soon established. * This building of railroads made travel and trade easier from East to West

* Westward expansion of the U.S. made many new cities and expanded old cities * Many immigrants from East to West and even other countries contributed to the customs of our country
