The Concept is…….Manifest Destiny
•The belief that the United States had the clear right and duty to expand to the Pacific Ocean.
•Goal: make the United States more powerful while educating and “saving” natives and Mexicans that lived in the west

Reason #1 = Texas• What caused
the Mexican War?
• Americans moved into Texas (1820’s) led by Stephen Austin.
• Had slaves and were Protestant (both against Mexican law)
• 1830’s: Mexico began to enforce those laws when General Santa Anna took power.
• 1836: Texas won independence from Mexico (Remember the Alamo)
• 1845: Texas became a state (was annexed by the U.S.) = Mexico very angry – wanted it back!

Reason #2 = Manifest Destiny
• What caused the Mexican War?
• Belief that the United States had the right and duty to expand to the Pacific Ocean.
• James K. Polk supported this idea. He was elected because he promised to expand the U.S. or fight! (Either Oregon or Texas)
• Problems: Opponents worried about slavery spreading
• The war was very unpopular in the North.

Why is it a problem if the US takes land from Mexico or Britain?
![Page 16: Expansion causes problems! Time to play a little guessing game!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ef45503460f94c07df6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reason #3 = Americans in Mexican Territory
• And? • Americans lived in Texas, New Mexico (Utah, Arizona, and Nevada were included), and California.
• For inexpensive land, gold, or motivated by religion had moved to those territories.
• Those people wanted to become part of the U.S.
Brigham Young led Mormons to Utah

•The colored diagonal lines show the “disputed territory.”•This is land both the US and Mexico claimed because they could not agree on the Southern border of Texas.
