    The Mexican American war started in 1846, ten years after Texas won its independence from Mexico. In 1844 Texas was annexed, upon their request, to the United States. This caused trouble with the Mexican government because they believed that the southern border of Texas was along the Del Norte river, while the American government believed that the border was the Rio Grande river. When U.S. President James Polk sent troops into this disputed territory, Mexico attacked, killing sixteen American soldiers, and starting the Mexican-American war. The United States was justified in going to war with Mexico because, Texas was independent from Mexico, Mexico engaged in violence first, and Mexico was not governing Texas well.…

    treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

    In the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo the is 18 articles and the 1 article says “There shall be firm and universal peace between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic, and between their respective countries, territories, cities, towns, and people, without exception of places or persons.” They (the United States and Mexico) did end the war in peace but their counties, territories, cities, towns, and people didn't have the peace they needed. The reason why they didn't have the peace they wanted was because when the war ended the United States end with the moral superiority and took the stand of manifest destiny and took almost half of Mexico. Therefore the peace that everyone wanted was not there because after the United States had what they want they came up with the citizenship that basically meant that only the citizens where able to go be the the United States and the Mexicans had to be in the Mexico and couldn't pass what is know known as the border. The borders where made of 53 markers and of stones. The United States took control of everything that was once Mexico in the summer of 1846.

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is an agreement, signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, which is a city north from the capital of Mexico, between the United States and Mexico that marked the end of the Mexican War. With the defeat of the troops and the fall of the Mexican capital on September 1847, the Mexican government surrendered to the United States and wanted negotiations between the United States to end the war. Signing the treaty was only the beginning of the process because it still had to be approved by the congresses of both the United States and Mexico. No one could tell how the Polk administration would receive a treaty negotiated by an unofficial agent, and could they know the goods and the negative things of the Mexican political scene for the next few months. In both the U.S. and Mexican governments there was opposition to the treaty. In the United States, the northern abolitionists opposed the annexation of Mexican territory. In the Mexican congress, a sizable minority was in favor of continuing the fight. Both countries ratified the document. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the end of the war.…
