Best Answer

The Mexican American War had its supporters and people opposed to the war such as Abraham Lincoln. Many people opposed the war as being unnecessary. Or, based on the annexation of Texas, opposed it because Texas had every chance to be a slave state. For this exact reason, the new Secretary of State Calhoun wanted Texas and the sure way to acquire it was to beat the Mexicans in a war.

Celebrations held in urban areas tend to attract more people; an example the military parade held in Mexico City to celebrate Mexico's independence day (September 16) which attracts tens of thousand people each year.
