Some Northerners referred to the Mexican War as the "Mexican-American War," while others labeled it as "Mr. Polk's War" to criticize President James K. Polk's aggressive expansionist policies. Many in the North opposed the war, viewing it as an attempt to extend slavery into new territories, which fueled sectional tensions. This opposition was part of a broader anti-slavery sentiment that characterized much of Northern political discourse during that era.
