In 1846, President Polk declared war on Mexico stating, "Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon America's soil." Abraham Lincoln, a Senator at the time, questioned whether the "spot" where blood had been shed was actually on US soil. Lincoln's "spot resolutions" were one of several resolutions passed by congress questioning and opposing the war.
