Mexico didn't follow through its threat to declare war so it has ended Mexican-American in a favor if the United States. They wanted to start a war because of the fight over territorial dispute involving Texas. The treaty even added an additional 525,000 square miles to the United States territory. Mexico also gave up claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as America’s southern boundary. James Polk was chosen by the U.S Congress to declare war on Mexico. During…

territory occurred, but at the same time the Mexican War had just barely started. The Mexican War lasted from 1846 to 1848. The war was in Texas, over territorial issues.

got into war with Mexico in 1846 because they wanted more land such as Texas and California. Keeping this in mind we can infer that the US wasn’t justified to go to war with them.

United States launched the Merida Initiative, which provides the Mexican government with US security forces along with high-end military equipment, ranging from helicopters to surveillance technology (Quinones, 2009; 18). However, even with aid provided by the US, the cartels still outgunned the Mexican Army—a response to Calderon’s war with extreme savagery. “The problem isn’t individuals; it’s systematic” (Quinones, 2009; 18).

The identity of Mexican or Central American women is part of the underlying problem of border identity that has become exploited and commoditized by the Los Zetas cartel. This type of profiteering defies the national borders of Mexican sovereignty and the immigrant issues that define identity in these dire circumstances. This type of immigrant issue is important for…

The Manson murders as well as the Sleepy Lagoon murder were both war time murders that involved outsiders who were seen as a threat to the American way of life as both hippies and Mexican American’s rejected societal norms through their unique attire, rebellious attitudes, and vehement resistance or support to war.
