Aroostook “War” 1839• The only war ever declared by a state.
Between the Canadian region of New Brunswick and the state of Maine.
Cause: The expulsion of Canadian lumberjacks in the disputed area of Aroostook by Maine officials.
Congress called up 50,000 men and voted for $10,000,000 to pay for the “war.”
General Winfield Scott arranged a truce, and a border commission was convened to resolve the issue.

The Lone Star StateStill considered province of Mexico
Independence was not recognized by Mexico but by France, Holland, and Belgium
GB toyed with idea of an independent Texas; divide and conquer U.S. and U.S. stop expansion =
Free trade at ports, abolition, and cotton production attractive for G.B.
Thanks to Pres. Tyler for annexation of Texas

Manifest DestinyJohn L. O’Sullivan, 1845
".... the right of our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self-government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth."
The West: romantic and adventurous?
