The exact history of how Texas and Southwest were appropriated from Mexico by the US is in a book written by Gayle Olsen professor of Humboldt University and how it is taught in that institution. " Whose Manifest Destiny" How Northern Mexico was Won. You can find a review of that book if you google it. It will never be forgotten just like Slavery cannot be swept under the rug in the US. the truth is that Mexicans are Amerindian by race, we bear the image that the soil of the American Continent gave us to survive on it, our destiny is tied to the land, and these are natural laws that no man can change. The US has a massive crossover from Mexico to the US regaining the land. just like the sea, it will find its way back to its origins.

I’ve alway found this war fascinating for the early careers of so many Civil War generals. Jefferson Davis gained fame in this conflict and went on to become a Mississippi Senator, then Secretary of War before becoming President of the CSA.

Grant and Lee also gained valuable experience during this war. Lee the senior officer, once upbraided Grant for an untidy uniform. "But sir, it's a war." "You're an officer, no excuse." Lee completely forgot about the incident, but Grant reminded him of it at Appomattox, and they both had a good laugh about the whole thing. They were officers and gentlemen, after all.

Good video. One thing about the aquisition of California is that California seceded from Mexico and was an independent country for a little under a month when the US annexed it.

John Tyler was not a northern businessman. He was a slaveholder from Virginia who favored expansion of slavery into the territories. He presided over Virginia’s Secession Convention and was a member of the Confederate Provisional Congress. There was opposition to admitting Texas to the Union as a slave state, but it was centered in Congress, not Tyler’s White House.

Dang, Mexico's generals were so incompetent that they squandered their Pacific coast.

The thing is that the spaniards, in an atempt to avoid a reformulation of the "aztecs" disperesed the survivors all through the country, some of them even made it to parts of guatemala and even the philipines, so the Mexica blood is spread all over the country. And again the mayans were not a centraliced entity, they were a bunch of city states, so there would be no way of creating a concensus, the thing about the indigenous people of Mexico is that they just didn't see the purpose of land belonging to individuals, it belonged to all, nature and the anahuac was there, and humans existed withing this nature, so they preserved it for the future generations (In contrast to Western philosophies, in which god created the unverse for man, so everything under the sun is for me to use and consume). So pero se, we can not ask natives because it was not as centralized as they teach you in school.

Yup just like when the Spanish took it from the Native Peoples and forced them to live in the Mission System - or else. White European-Americans became the Majority in California sometime after the 1849 gold rush and ended in 2000. About 150 years - never to occur again. So in a sense the occupation of California is being taken back by Mexico. And they are getting it back much better than when they lost it. So no worries.

The Mexican-American war was inevitable, Texas just provided the excuse. All Mexican territory north of the modern Mexican-US border was very sparsely populated and impossible to defend due to how remote it was and how unstable the Mexican government generally was. American Manifest Destiny would ensure if Texas didn't start the war the US would find another reason to start it. One of the main reasons why the US passed the Homestead Act and pushed forward the idea of Manifest Destiny was to get American colonists out west to settle the land because the US government understood that in order to secure a land you must settle your people on it to secure it

That's a very interesting fact, one that I'm sure many don't know and definitely one that many should know. I've known many Americans and in that calculated bunch were many Mexican Americans who brought up the subject of how the Baja and California was once Mexico's and that the Land was taken over by some type of financial buyout. However seeing this video impressed upon me the truth! Mexico was offered a buyout, they refused, and America moved forward to acquire the land via a war and won. The truth however also impressed upon me the significance of this fact that you outlined that the Mexican army consisted of a larger number of soldiers which in turn reveals to me that the US won the land fair and square through an arbitrary process of OFFERING first a financial generous buyout, then without even a counter offer, a war was decided upon to claim the segment of land that is joined through the Continental shelf. Thanks for the information. Much obliged.

Mexico, the silver metal finalist in the Mexican American war.

Mexicans did not inherit land from Spain. Mexicans are Amerindians and, we fought to regain our land back. Mexico is made up of Amerindia ethnic groups,is the country with the largest population of Amerindians. We bear the image that the soil of the American continent gave us to survive on it, we are the selection for the survival of the species, our destiny is tied to the land, these are natural laws that no man can change. Thous shall noy steal, thou shall not evict the people from their land. The US tried to halt the entrance of mexicans that up the 70s was not as much by giving work permits TPS to Central, Southamericansm Hiatians, ETC. to supply its need for labor force and denied Mexican workers of any work permits even though they had been crossing the imaginary border ever since we have been on this Continent. The Apaches, comanches, Navajos, and Yaquis, are existing on both side of the borders, all of us Amerindians share the same DNA in the American Continent. By giving work permits to others, rather than mexicans, the USA created the massive out of control surge of immigration from Central, South and the Caribbean and Africa who want a piece of the USA dream and is destroying everything. Another Fallacy, the USA is a country, North America and South America connected by Central America are 2 sub-continents converging to form a single Super Continet simply known as AMERICA the land of the Amerindian that God Almighty gave us. Amerindian DNA is unique, it is not found anywhere in the world except in the people of the American Continent. AMERICA, unknown to thr rest of the world until October 12, 1492, tha date in history that changed the life of the Amerindian as he knew it forever when everybody has benefitted from the land except the Amerindians

The Americans who fought at the Alamo were immigrants into Mexico. They were not freeing "Texas" from the Mexicans, they were stealing it by force. Supposedly the "free Texas" movement started when the Americans learned that Mexico was abolishing slavery, so these Americans living on Mexican land were about to lose their slaves.

The Mexican-American War is often painted 2 ways. The First being that the Americans were provoked by the Mexicans and fought a completely justified war against the Mexicans, where they got their fair share. The Second being that the poor Mexicans were brutally attacked by the evil Americans and were pushed back to Mexico City and forced to give up their own land. Neither of these point of views are right. In actuality, the Mexican Government was very stupid in their actions, from inviting thousands of foreign settlers with absolutely no allegiance to the nation and nothing to incentive to have said allegiance, to continuing to press their claim against the U.S when they annexed Texas, all the way to firing on American Troops when they crossed into disputed territory, not only because it was disputed territory, but even if it wasn't a messages would be sent before those troops would be ordered to fire. On the other hand, the Americans had a very clear intention of starting a war with Mexico to take their land, the war was not unexpected and fell right into American Hands. In the end, you cannot point the finger at just one side, but sides were at fault.
