Why?
Why?
Pres. Polk really wanted to attain California and New
Mexico. He was willing to buy the land, but Mexico would
not even talk to Polk’s representative. Polk used the
dispute over Texas land as an excuse to declare war on
Mexico. America won the war. The Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo gave America the Mexican Cession and secured
the Rio Grande as the Texas border. The $10 million
Gadsden Purchase in 1853 completed Manifest Destiny.
