A. “Manifest Destiny” (pp. 457-458) By the mid-1840s, a group of Americans wanted the United States to reach all the way to the Pacific. They believed in “Manifest Destiny,” the idea that America’s obvious, God-ordained mission was to expand and spread across the continent. They gave little thought to the Native Americans and Mexicans who would lose their lands in the process.

B. Annexation of Texas (p. 458) Southerners strongly supported extending the cotton-growing area by annexing Texas. However, for nine years Northern abolitionists blocked its admission as another slave state in the Union. Polk’s election in 1844 was considered a mandate (approval) for the annexation of Texas. In December 1845, Texas was finally admitted as the 28th state to enter the Union.

C. The Brink of War (pp. 458-459) The U.S. considered the Rio Grande River as its border with Mexico, while Mexico considered it to be the Nueces River. In April 1846, Polk sent troops across the Nueces River, which resulted in a Mexican military response that killed 11 Americans. Although war was declared, some Congressmen voted against it because they saw it as a plot to add slave states to the Union.

D. The Mexican War (pp. 459-460) In May 1846, General Zachary Taylor and his army crossed the Rio Grande, capturing Monterrey by September, and Buena Vista by February 1847. Meanwhile, General Winfield Scott led an army that won victory after victory as it marched west from Veracruz. In September 1847, after Mexico made a heroic last stand at Chapultepec, Scott took over Mexico City.

E. The Bear Flag Republic (p. 460) Soon after the war began, General Stephen Kearny forced Mexican troops in Santa Fe to flee without firing a shot. Around the same time, Captain John C. Fremont urged Americans in California to revolt against their Mexican rulers. In the summer of 1846, they announced the creation of the independent, but short-lived, Bear Flag Republic (California).

F. Making Peace (p. 461) On February 2, 1848, the Mexicans signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which it ceded all of California and New Mexico to the U.S. for $15 million. This territory is called the Mexican Cession (and includes today’s states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico). The addition of the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 completed the border between Mexico and the United States.
