How did Polk try to avoid war? Polk knew the Mexican Government needed cash
and offered to pay to settle the border dispute and also offered to buy California and the rest of New Mexico, (Nevada, parts of Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Arizona)
On November 10, 1845 Polk sent John Slidell, a secret representative, to Mexico City with an offer of $25 million ($681,442,308 today)!!!!
Mexican government was outraged…why so dang angry?
He refused to cede any more land to the USSo Polk changes tactics, now he WANTS to
provoke Mexico into war b/c he realizes the only way to get Cali and New Mexico is by fighting…..
So why not pick a fight? Polk sent General Zachary Taylor to the disputed
border between Mexico and the USMexicans perceived this as a act of war and
ambushed American troopsPolk got what he needed, blood was spilled on
AMERICAN soil, he asked for a declaration of war from Congress
Southern Democrats and Westerns supported the war (WHY?), Northerners and Whigs opposed it.
Even Abraham Lincoln pointed out that the land under dispute was not “American Soil”
So how did it go down? 1. Americans take Sante Fe,
NM2. Bear Flag Rebellion help gain control of California
3. Then into Mexico,
caputured Monterrey,
Buena Vista. Santa Anna Retreated
4. America then captures
Mexico City (capital)
