 | | Conversly, the war also elicited the sense of national unity in Mexico, which had been lacking since the Independence movement dissolved in 1821. | | | The war had been widely supported by Democrats across the country, and opposed by Whigs across the country. | | | Although by then aware of the American positions, Santa Anna and his troops were unprepared for the onslaught that followed. |

| | The Mexican War |
| | Many Centralists believed that abolitionists' objections to the war would demoralize the United States, and some Centralists believed a Mexican invasion would be supported by a massive slave uprising. | | | The Mexicans did not attack because the Centralist government was collapsing. | | | Simply stated, a dictatorial Centralist government in Mexico began the war because of the U.S. annexation (1845) of Texas, which Mexico continued to claim despite the establishment of the independent republic of Texas 10 years before. |

| | The fact that most of those areas already had people living upon them was usually ignored, with the attitude that democratic English-speaking America, with its high ideals and Protestant Christian ethics, would do a better job of running things than the Native Americans or Spanish-speaking Catholic Mexicans. | | | The belief that the U.S. basically had a God-given right to occupy and "civilize" the whole continent gained favor as more and more Americans settled the western lands. | | | Both nations sent troops to enforce the competing claims, and a tense standoff ensued. |

| | He did this because Americans were already there and because of the massive economic potential in these areas. | | | If he could make the American people identify the name Tyler with American expansion, maybe he could overcome the disdain of both the Democrats and the Whigs (Combs 88). | | | Refuting this "Mexico's Fault" theory even more is the fact that the government of Mexico at this time was in a period of chaos (Garraty and Gay 811). |

| | I tell you, it is so funny to hear small minded Americans talking about English as the American language and complaining that ‘they’ (whoever they are) don’t want to learn ‘American’. | | | There are also far too many cases of illegal immigrants being taken advantage of because of their immigration status as anyone who’s ever worked in restaurants (you, me, half the people I went to college with!) can attest to. | | | What makes me even angrier is the literature that was recently distributed by the Mexican government telling people how to safely cross the border (illegally). |
