They German foreign minister is prepared to offer Mexico financial support if they go to war with the United States.
Polk said we had to go to war because U.S. forces had been attacked on the Rio Grande. Some said we provoked Mexico into war.
New York State was part of the United States of America. If the US goes to war, all states must comply. It is illegal for any ONE state to go to war by itself. If, for example, New York started a war with Great Britain, it would be illegal. Texas went to war with Mexico in 1836; but Texas was NOT part of the United States of America. Texas was it's own Republic (it's own country) until 1845. In 1845, Texas became a US State; it would have been ILLEGAL for Texas to go to war with Mexico after 1845.
They are sent back to Mexico.
No, the US went to war with Mexico.
The Mexicans could have not opened up Texas or New Mexico for American settlement because these two acts greatly increased the American population that it soon outnumbered the actual Mexicans. This could have prevented the entire disputes over the annexation of Texas which was a primary reason Polk went into the war-- to get Texas as a state of the U.S.
