They couldn't. When they figured out there was a proportion of 10 Americans per Mexican, it was too late: the Americans were already planning how to secede from Mexico.

The major problem for the Americans in the Mexican War was the distance in logistical lines. The seat of power was more than 1,000 miles from the Mexican border. That made lines of communication difficult.

Why did the Battle of the Alamo end?

The Mexican Army ran out of targets. ------ Actually, the battle ended after the Mexicans sounded retreat. What happened was that the Mexicans who broke into the Alamo shot all the defenders and a few other people. When resistance ended, however, the fighting did not. The problem was that the Mexican soldiers were fighting without their coats, so they would be unencumbered by them, and so were not easy to identfy; it was dark; and many men misidentified Mexican soldiers as the enemy and shot them. Finally, a retreat was sounded, and after about fifteen minutes of further fighting among the victors, the battle ended. There is a link below.


If someone that is born American and has a Mexican heritage does it make them Mexican?

Well, it depends on what you mean. If you are talking about ethnicity, then yes, they are Mexican. For example, if you are Italian and born in America, you are still Italian. But you are also an American citizen. You can have two different home countries without any problem. Also, there are German-Americans, French-Canadians, etc. Your heritage and your home country can be combined and you still have clear definition of who you are and where your family originates from. Very simple.

Do British hate Mexicans?

NO.In my experience, Americans do not hate Mexicans at all. The problem that most people have is with illegal immigration. It just so happens that most of the illegal immigrants happen to be Mexican. Why should they, Mexicans are Americans, it would be a case of self hate.Yes.Yes, because if they didn't they wouldn't be putting all the immigration laws. Also Americans don't understand that Mexicans live in Mexico, that is one of the worst place to live in. Mexico is bad. I'm Mexican so I know (don't live in Mexico though I live in America). My cousins and aunt moved to Mexico about 3 weeks before I wrote this and this caused me and my family to cry day and night. Americans make Mexican families suffer. In a way I understand why they put immigration laws, but it doesn't matter they are putting the laws because they want MEXICANS out.


How can we fix the Mexican problem in the us?

It depends on what you mean by "problem". Several illegal immigrants pouring into the US? It is already solved, as the US economic decline, compounded with recent economic growth by Mexico have stopped if not reversed this trend. Many Mexicans in the US Southwest? Well, these lands were already owned and inhabited by Mexicans, being stolen during the Mexican-American War (1846-48) so the most appropriate way to solve it would be to return them to their rightful owners.

How many Mexican men marry black women?

Most Mexicans (up to 80% of the total population) are Mestizo (mix of European and Amerindian people). Therefore, both girls and boys of other races are viewed as a novelty among Mexicans. Besides, embedded in the Mexican psyche is the theory that "güeritas" (white Americans), "negritas" (African-American) and "chinitas" (Asian-Americans) are a prize worth fighting for.

What country did the US fight in 1846?

The US fought against Mexico in 1846. The US may call it the Mexican war, but many will call it the Mexican-American War. The conflict was mainly regarding the claim of Texas. Before the war, Texas was at the hands of the Mexican government. However, as Texas is many miles away from Mexico City, the Mexican government allowed American settlers on their land as to help maintain the land. More and more Americans moved in to Texas with their slaves much to Mexico's dislike. You may know about the lost war of Santa Anna where he was forced to sign the Treaties of Velasco. Basically, this treaty established the borderline between Texas and Mexico. In addition, it declared Texas as an independent republic or sovereignty of Republic of Texas. The catch is that Mexico never ratified the treaties, because the government did not recognize Santa Anna as a government representative. Thus, Santa Anna did not have the right to give away land. Now, there is a big problem. One country, Mexico, see Texas as their territory while the other recognizes Texas as an Independent Republic with ties to the US, France, and Britain. Therefore, Polk declared war stating that Mexico trespassed the US boundaries and killed fellow Americans on US territory in May 1846. A few days later, Congress passed the proposal.
