There are many different stories on why the war started but in the United States the story states that the Mexicans are the people to blame and hence the name: the Mexican-American War. Before this war had begun Americans forget that there was natives who first lived the lands they took over. This means that those people become part of the history of the United States. This comes to be a problem however when children learn about the history of this country and…

Although massive deportations may seem of concern to only a small group of citizens, it should be in fact concern for anyone who cares about the increase in taxes.

Many wars, rebellions, and revolutions have shaped the United States of America into what it is today. But no war, some historians argue, shaped this country so much as the Cold War. Being one of the longest wars in the United States ' history, it spanned from approximately 1947 to 1991*, a total of 44 years.
