The united states started the war with Mexico:

The Mexican American War, popularly known as the Mexican War in the United States and the U.S. involvement in Mexico in Mexico, was a military war that lasted from 1846 to 1848 between the two countries. It came after the United States annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico nevertheless regarded as Mexican territory. It rejected the Velasco treaty that Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna had signed while held captive by the Texian Army during the Texas Revolution in 1836. Although the Republic of Texas was technically an independent state, the majority of its Anglo-American residents desired annexation by the US.

Because Texas would have been admitted as a slave state, domestic sectional politics in the U.S. prevented annexation. Altering the power relations between the Southern slave states and the Northern free states. James K. Polk, a Democrat, won the presidency of the United States in 1844 on a platform of enlarging American territory in Oregon and Texas. The annexation of Texas in 1845 furthered Polk's goal of promoting growth through either peaceful or violent means. The Rio Grande, which the Republic of Texas and the United States claim to be the border, and the further northern Nueces River, which Mexico claims to be the border, are in dispute. Both Mexico and the United States sent soldiers and claimed the disputed territory. Polk dispatched American Army troops there; In an effort to negotiate the sale of territory, he also dispatched a diplomatic delegation to Mexico. After Mexican soldiers attacked American forces, the American Congress formally declared war.

U.S. forces swiftly took control of Santa Fe de Nuevo México along the upper Rio Grande outside of the disputed Texas region. The Santa Fe Trail, which connected Missouri, particularly Saint Louis, and New Mexico, established long-standing economic ties between it and the United States throughout the 18th century. Additionally, American forces advanced against the province of Alta California before turning south. U.S. Navy's Pacific Squadron blockaded the lower Baja California Territory's Pacific coastline.

The U.S. invasion of the Mexican core under Major General Winfield Scott and its conquest of Mexico City were strategic moves to force peace discussions because the Mexican government at this point had refused to be coerced into signing a peace treaty. The political sensitivity of Mexico's government's treaty negotiations persisted despite its military setback. Some Mexican factions refused to contemplate accepting any acknowledgement of its land loss. Nicholas Trist, Polk's peace representative, was officially relieved of his role as a negotiator, but Trist disobeyed the directive and was successful in bringing about the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. It brought an end to the conflict and led to Mexico's recognition of the U.S. Army's conquest of territories that were not contested portions of Texas.These were the northern regions of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico and Alta California. The United States agreed to pay $15 million for the physical harm caused by the conflict and to take on $3.25 million in debt that the Mexican government had already owed to American people. Mexico accepted the Rio Grande as its north border with the United States and recognised the independence of what would later become the State of Texas.

Polk's goal of victory and territory expansion aroused patriotism in some parts of the country, but the war and treaty received harsh criticism for the losses, financial costs, and heavy-handedness, especially in the early going. The argument about slavery in America heated up as a result of the dilemma of how to handle the new acquisitions. Despite Congress's refusal to enact the Wilmot Proviso, which expressly barred the expansion of slavery into captured Mexican territory, discussions over it exacerbated tensions between different sections of society. Some academics believe that the American Civil War was sparked by the Mexican-American War. Numerous West Point-trained officers gained experience in the war in Mexico and ultimately assumed important leadership positions on both sides of the conflict.

The war exacerbated internal political unrest in Mexico. Due to the fact that the battle was fought on Mexican soil, a significant number of soldiers and civilians perished. The territory was lost, and the nation's financial foundations were weakened. Ramón Alcaraz and José Mara del Castillo Velasco, among other Mexican writers, saw Mexico as having lost its sense of national pride and being in a "condition of ruin and degradation This faction stated, "[As for] the true root of the war, it is sufficient to say that now the insatiable ambition of a United States, helped by our inferiority, created it." They did not consider Mexico's refusal to recognize Texas' independence as a cause of the war."

Write an objective summary of the Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln)-Douglas (Frederick Douglas) Debates. This should at least have 3-6 sentences.

Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow.

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates

In 1858, Abraham Lincoln, a known abolitionist, ran as the Republican party candidate for the United States Senate seat against the incumbent Democratic senator, Judge Stephen Douglas. Lincoln and Douglas held a series of seven debates throughout Illinois, focusing overwhelmingly on what was the most contentious issue of the day: slavery, and whether it should be permitted in the new territories and states that were being rapidly acquired at the time.

The Lincoln-Douglas debates were so heated, in part because of a controversial address Lincoln had previously given at the Illinois State Capitol on June 16, 1858, now known as the "House Divided" speech, in which Lincoln said:

A house divided against itself, cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new - North as well as South.

During the third debate in Jonesboro, Illinois on September 15,1858 , Douglas responded to Lincoln's "house divided" contention by iterating the Democratic position on slavery, emphasizing the rights of states (and, by extension, new territories) to legislate their own policies on slavery.

Douglas: I now come back to the question, why cannot this Union exist forever divided into free and slave States, as our fathers made it? It can thus exist if each State will carry out the principles upon which our institutions were founded, to wit: the right of each State to do as it pleases, without meddling with its neighbors. Just act upon that great principle, and this Union will not only live forever, but it will extend and expand until it covers the whole continent, and makes this confederacy one grand, ocean-bound Republic. We must bear in mind that we are yet a young nation, growing with a rapidity unequaled in the history of the world, that our national increase is great, and that the emigration from the old world is increasing, requiring us to expand and acquire new territory from time to time, in order to give our people land to live upon. If we live upon the principle of State rights and State sovereignty, each State regulating its own affairs and minding its own business, we can go on and extend indefinitely, just as fast and as far as we need the territory.

In the 7th debate in Alton, Illinois on October 15,1858 , Lincoln retreated slightly from his "House Divided" stance, agreeing that state sovereignty should generally be constitutionally protected, but slavery is a moral wrong for which expansion must not be allowed, and which should eventually be quashed completely.

Lincoln: The Judge [Douglas] alludes very often in the course of his remarks to the exclusive right which the States have to decide the whole thing for themselves. I agree with him very readily that the different States have that right. He is but fighting a man of straw when he assumes that I am contending against the right of the States to do as they please about it. Our controversy with him is in regard to the new Territories... He says that upon the score of equality, slaves should be allowed to go in a new Territory, like other property. This is strictly logical if there is no difference between it and other property. If it and other property are equal, his argument is entirely logical. But if you insist that one is wrong and the other right, there is no use to institute a comparison between right and wrong. You may turn over every thing in the Democratic policy from beginning to end, whether in the shape it takes on the statute book, in the shape it takes in the Dred Scott decision, in the shape it takes in conversation, or the shape it takes in short maxim-like arguments-it every where carefully excludes the idea that there is any thing wrong in it.

That is the real issue. That is the issue that will continue in this country when these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent. It is the eternal struggle between these two principles-right and wrong throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, "You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it." No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.
