Manifest Destiny and Beyond

John Tyler: His Accidency Poor relationships with many in the political world Became president after death of Harrison Greatest rivalry existed with Henry Clay Whig party abandons him Ran on platform of Texas annexation

Question of Texas Jackson and Van Buren side stepped it, Tyler embraced it; downfall for him Highly fertile region; great for cotton By ,000 Americans making way into Texas Republic of Mexico  Forced Catholicism  Language barriers  Outlawing of slavery

Don’t Mess with Texas Restrictions led to desire for independence Skirmishes increased The Alamo  February 1836, 6000 Mexicans march into San Antonio  Mission serves as protection for unwilling Texans  10 days held off the attacks from the Mexican military  Results:  Texans lost 187 men  Mexicans 1500 men  Renewed effort towards independence…..Remember the Alamo!!

Annexation of Texas Politicians thorn Fear of war for many Public wanted Texas Issue of slavery sensitive; fear of war between the states

Manifest Destiny Coined by journalist John L. O’Sullivan Providential, the destined goal :  One mighty nation  A refuge for the oppressed  A showcase to display the virtues of democrac y  Area of focus Mexico, and the suppression of the Mexican culture

Polk’s Rise Front runners struggled with Texas issue Clay and Van Buren “behind the age” on idea of expansionism Polk: dark horse in the political world Good democrat in Jackson term Supported taking Texas and general expansion Win of 1844 election a bit of luck, Liberty Party helped Inaugural address demonstrated his plans and desires toward expansion The west was on his radar screen; barriers could be overcome just ask the British!

War with Mexico Texas admitted into Union 1845, one hitch, Mexico never recognized independence Negotiations lagged, Polk took matters into his own hands Two effective generals available to Polk Polk’s Plan:  Clear Mexicans from Texas  Take possession of New Mexico and California  March into Mexico City

Cont….. Plan was effective Mexico in a state of disarray Treaty situation tricky Polk saw it as an opportunity for more; those there saw it differently Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; Polk dissatisfied In the end:  Americans walked away with a victory  13,000 American lives lost  More land acquired  Slavery issue again!  On to California…….there’s gold in them thar hills!
