Why did Mexico think that the U.S. Had attacked them?
The Thornton Affair, where American blood was spilled and became the perfect pretext to start the Mexican-American War, happened on a no man's land. According to Mexicans, the US-Mexico border was at the Nueces River, while Americans though of it as the Rio Grande. This ill-defined border resulted in such skirmishes and ultimately, war between both countries.
Stripes on the flag?
The stripes mean the 1st 13 STATES. some people say they represent the the 13 colonies, but they are wrong. If you think about it, the 13 colonies were ruled by Britan and why would we want to put something British on the American flag? We were trying to break free from british rule so we wouldn't want to put something British on the U.S. flag. The red stripes mean courage and the white mean bravery. THE RED DOESN'T MEAN BLOOD AT ALL!
Why did parliament raise taxes in the colonies after the French and Indian War?
The excuse given was that taxes helped pay for British troops in the thirteen colonies, who were alleged to be there to "defend" the colonists. However there had never been large numbers of British troops in the colonies before except when the colonies became a battleground in the wars between France and England. At other times the colonists were left to defend themselves, from the Indians, or from French troops when the wars got going, before any British troops arrived. But after the French and Indian War the French were ejected from all of North America. There WAS no danger such as had existed before that war. With the French gone, who could these British troops be meant to oppose? The only answer was that the colonists themselves were the object of interest for the British troops. One of the real reasons for the taxes was that Britain was broke, the Treasury empty. It had been expensive to fight the long war in North America, so far from Britain, as well as in Europe, and even in the Pacific, and, it was a colonial dispute between the British colonies and the French colonies that touched off the war. But the British gained immense territories from the war in the end. And the British had received a LOT of help from the men of the colonies, fighting in their militia and colonial units alongside the British Regulars. These American soldiers were supported by taxes paid in the colonies they came from, so from the American point of view the colonists had already paid heavily for the prosecution of the war, in blood and money.
