his microfiche edition of The Mexican-American War: UnitHistories and Personal Narrativesis full of fascinating,firsthand accounts of a violent, controversial conflict that

occurred early on in Americas history.

Texas and Californiastates that today are largely synonymous withAmerican culturewere at one point in the early 1800s part ofMexico. After the famous battle of the Alamo, Texas gainedindependence from Mexico. Most Texans favored becoming part ofthe United States, something that Mexico did not want. PresidentPolk sent General Zachary Taylor down to Texas to defend the RioGrande border. But after the Thornton Affair, in which nearly a dozenAmericans were killed by the Mexican army, the United States

declared war on Mexico.

The resulting Mexican-American War not only gained Texas, NewMexico, Arizona, and California for the United States, but it was alsoa proving ground for many of the leaders of the Civil War, includingUlysses S. Grant, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee. Indeed, theMexican-American War was in many ways a foreshadowing of thecoming Civil Warwith the North fearing that, with the annexation ofTexas as a slave state, the South would gain ascendancy ingovernment.

Researchers will find that the Mexican-American War, a controversythat aroused the passions of many Americans, presents aninteresting case study of a time when U.S. citizens divided alongpolitical party lines in their opposition or support of a war.
