Mexican-American War

No he was not. While many of his compatriots saw service in the Mexican-American War, William T. Sherman was employed California, performing administrative duties for the then new State. He is notable for arriving at the town of Yerba Buena two days before it changed it's name to San Francisco and also for being part of the inspection of the state to verify if there was gold to be found there.

For years afterward, veterans continued to suffer from the debilitating diseases contracted during the campaigns. The casualty rate was thus easily over 25% for the 17 months of the war; the total casualties may have reached 35-40% if later injury- and disease-related deaths are added. In this respect, the war was proportionately the most deadly in American military history

When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories. The conditions to settle were simple: 1) to pledge allegiance to Mexico and 2) observe the Mexican Law and customs. In 1830, these laws incorporated the banning of slavery. Due to the fact that many American settlers in such territories were slave owners, they looked for any pretext to break up with Mexico.

Any person born in the United States is Considered to be an American Citizen. A person of Mexican origin may call themselves Mexican American, but the correct term is American.

i think it was 'Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo' !

Because the Mexican Army did not make the mistake of advancing on the Alamo during periods of daylight until much of the defenders ammunition had been depleted. The rifles in the hands of the Texans were far superior to the Brown Bess musket that the Mexican troops were armed with so they avoided becoming targets and remained out of range for most of the siege. When they made their attack they simply kept advancing until the most effective weapon was a bayonet. From the start of the attack until the last defender was dead required only one hour.

They were withdrawn as not fit for civilized Military use.

The Fall of Mexico City generally marks the end of the War, but because of the lack of effective communications there were numerous battles and incidents that do not fit into a neat package. Another problem was that while the War may have been over for the record, there was no formal surrender and much of the Mexican Army including General Santa Anna had escaped and were an active force. There was also a large number of insurgents, partisans and guerrillas to deal with.

Puebla was under siege by the Mexican Army which resulted in the Battle of Huamantla and the final Battle was at Santa Cruz de Rosales on 16 March 1948 long after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed on 2 February 1848.

people say its 16,000 but simlpy in my book its 5,000

the answer is: * Texan Annexation. Mexico had warned it would regard annexation as an act of war. When it took place, Mexico did not declare war, but broke diplomatic relations. * The Boundary Dispute. Regardless of its status (was it an American state or a rebellious Mexican province?), the United States maintained that the southern border of Texas was formed by the Rio Grande, but Mexico argued that the traditional boundary was at the Nueces River farther north. * The California Question. President Polk clearly wanted to expand the country to the Pacific Ocean by taking control of California and lands in the Southwest - a prime example of the prevailing Manifest Destiny mentality. * Monetary Claims against Mexico. The United States had extracted a promise from the Mexican government to pay $3 million to cover the claims of American citizens who had lost property during turmoil and revolution. Mexico defaulted on those payments and the American creditors pressed their government for action.

The Mexicans won the battle of Mexico City. They also won the battle of Veracruz.

If California entered the Union it would enter as a free state, the balance of power would be broken

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,

The Mexican-French war begin when the French army tried to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. The Mexican victory at Pueblo, under the direction of General Ignacio Zaragoza tightened the Mexican resistance, and six years later France withdrew. Today, Mexicans celebrate the victory at Pueblo on May 5, Cinco de Mayo.

The CORRECT answer is Madeline

400,000

After Mexico surrendered, they finally recognized Texas as part of the U.S. and accepted the border of Texas and Mexico as the Rio Grande instead of the Nueces River. In addtion, Mexico ceded a large area of land the incorporated present day New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. The only land of these states aquired after the war are small parts of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Montana.

Northern abolitionists.

Was intoduced in Arizona and New Mexico.

Manifest destiny was a flawed theoretical justification for U.S. expansion an taking over of territory that was not theirs,

Same as Abraham's Lincoln's: Lincoln made a speech on the House floor in which he pointed out that the Mexicans had made no hostile acts toward the United States and had been attacked in an area which was rightfully theirs

Was called the Mexican American War. It happened between the Texas War of Independence and the US Civil War.

It was the Mexican-American war in 1846-1848. It was called "mr. Polk's war" by those who believed that president James K. Polk's aggression was an attempt to extend slavery. They called it this to take away national support of the war.

Many people hate running or stuff like that. I did my best 2 answer this!.
