How did pres Polk's placement of soldiers along the rio grande contribute to the outbreak of war with Mexico?
He knew very well that the strip of land between the Nueces and Rio Grande was a no-man's land, as the boundary between Mexico and the United States was not well-defined by any agreement or accord. By placing American soldiers in such contested land, he provoked Mexico to have a hostile reaction. It did, as a skirmish between American and Mexican troops resulted in American blood shed; this is known as the Thornton Affair. These deaths were used by Polk to convince the congress that "Mexico attacked first", eventually declaring war on Mexico.
