What were colonel hitchcock's private thoughts concerning the war with Mexico?

He believed the Mexican-American War was morally wrong, because the United States had "not one particle of right’ to be there." He saw the conflict with Mexico as a case of bullying from a more powerful country to a lesser one. "For ten years we have been encroaching on Mexico and insulting her," he wrote. "Her people I consider a simple, well disposed, pastoral race, no way inclined to savage usages."
Nevertheless, he fought with distinction during the war, serving under Gen. Winfield Scott, with whom he shared the same thoughts.
