One reason the Mexican war was justified was because of the Manifest Destiny. (Doc A) When we’re welcoming Mexicans into the Texas territory, they’re keeping the U.S. from expanding. America needs land because of our massive population. Mexico’s government is so deprived that they can’t keep California. If Mexico can’t afford California, how will they even afford Texas? America will eventually have California, but that’s not enough for our evolution population. This evidence shows the U.S. was justified in going to war because Mexico can’t control the land they already have; America has more population than Mexico, the U.S. should have more land.
A second reason the Mexican War was justified was an invasion that Mexico has passed the boundary of the U.S. (Doc B) James Polk, an American Political wrote to the Senate and House of Representatives that was a war message from the President. James informed the Senate & House of Representatives to order an efficient military to take position on the Rio Grande to meet a threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexican forces. Mexican troops were preparing to cross the river. This evidence shows the U.S. was justified in going to war with Mexico because Mexico had killed and injured sixteen Americans,
