![Page 38: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Why would Southerners want more land?
How would the belief in “Manifest Destiny” make people support the war?
Why would Westerners want more land?
![Page 39: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Polk
![Page 40: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
They raised a grizzly bear flag and declared California an independent republic
John C. Fremont took control of the “Bear Flag Rebellion”
Quickly captured major cities of California (Monterey and San Francisco)
Fremont
![Page 42: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Invasion of Mexico
General Zachary Taylor and General Winfield Scott swept through Mexico with stunning victories even though they were often outnumbered
How do you think they still won?
![Page 44: CHAPTER 13: IMMIGRATION, EXPANSION, & SECTIONAL CONFLICT 1840-1848.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102900/5517efcf550346c6568b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Scott’s campaign ended at Chapultepec, a stone palace above the capital of Mexico City
The Mexican troops fought bravely to defend Chapultepec, but most were killed
How is this similar to the American experience at the Alamo?
After Americans won the capital city, Santa Anna fled
The U.S. had won the war
