He correctly stated that the United States would eventually conquer Mexico, but it would be "as the man who swallows the arsenic which will bring him down in turn. Mexico will poison us."
He was right, because the actual reason behind the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was expansion of slavery and Manifest Destiny. The territorial acquisition renewed the slavery question among both North and South, and ultimately led to the American Civil War (1861-1865).

What did Emerson mean when he said that the victory over Mexico would poison us?
Although modern history defines the Mexican-American War as a fight of borders and "Manifest Destiny", in reality it was pushed by slave owner's interests. When Texas seceded from Mexico, it was mainly because Mexico banned slavery in 1835. When presidents Tyler and Polk annexed Texas in 1846, this meant war with Mexico. At the end of the war, the acquired territories renewed the slave question; all these events directly led to the American Civil War and all the atrocities committed during such conflict.
