The Mexican-American War shows the U.S belief of manifest destiny because it is an event that expands the land of U.S through battles. The U.S had fought and won many skirmishes against Mexico, which was politically divided and militarily unprepared. Mexico had lost 1/3 of their land to the U.S. The battles occurred because James K. Polk(U.S president in 1844) led troops toward the U.S-Mexican border with an "ample" cause for expansion and a dispute over Texas. The battle was bloody and led U.S. Congress to agree to declare war against the Mexicans. Polk and, of course, many Americans essentially had an attitude of "bringing light into the darkness" of Mexican land. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, established land rights and offers, as well as officially establish Rio Grande as the Mexican-American border. This didn't affect BNA as the land expansion was moving in a direction away from BNA.
mexican-american War Portfolio Directions
Directions: For this portfolio project, you will evaluate whether the Mexican-American War was justified.
Description
You have been reading about the war between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. It sprang out of a dispute between two countries over the southern border of Texas. The U.S. claimed the Rio Grande as the border, while Mexico claimed the Nueves River farther north. Each based its claim, in part, on agreements made at the end of the Texas war for independence, which ended in 1836. Each also based its claim on nationalism, or national self-interest, and a desire to expand its territory. For this portfolio project, you will explore different perspectives regarding the Mexican-American War. You will then present your findings in a short essay. Your final product will describe each point of view. It should give historically accurate facts. Your portfolio assignment has four steps:
1. Research the Mexican-American War—its causes, the course of the conflict, and its results.
2. Examine the Pearson Realize Civic Discussion Sources A–E for additional information.
3. Analyze your research.
4. Form your judgment and write your essay.
Step 1
