Best Answer

Winfield Scott was both a US General Officer in the Mexican American and Civil Wars.

Sterling Price became a Brigadier General after the Taos Revolt during the Mexican American War and was a Major General of the Confederate States Army during the US Civil War. There was also John Ellis Wool who, when the Civil War began had been a Brigadier General for twenty years and had been in uniform for 49 years. He was the oldest General Officer on either side during the US Civil war at the age of 77. He got his second star during the Civil War.

American leader in the Mexican American War known as old fuss and feathers?

Winfield Scott, General U.S. Army who was also known as the Grand Old Man of the Army who had seen service from the War of 1812 to the US Civil War.


What do you think was the most important long term result of the Mexican-American war?

The most important long term result of the Mexican-American War wasn't the expansion of the United States by a third (if including Texas), but the experience gained by the American officers that fought in the war. I believe this because the same officers that fought in the Mexican-American War also fought in the American Civil War, which if it weren't for the Mexican-American War the officers in the Civil War might have had different tactics, which could have lead to a different outcome of the Civil War. This alternative outcome would have been the Southern United States successfully succeeding from the Union and the eventual takeover of the Northern and Southern United States by Britain, Spain, and France.

Depends on where they were born....If they are born in America then they are considered Americans, if they were born in Mexico then I believe they are considered Mexican, but the American parent has the right to petion for them to be American. I also guess it depends on where the parents live also.
