Slide 11

Why did the War Happen? Conflict began because America and Mexico were seeing who was going to control of Texas because it was on the border of Mexico and America. After the Americans won the revolutionary war, they started discovering the west of the us and they discovered Texas and Mexico did not approve. Since the discovery of Lewis and Clark Americans started moving west and discovering new land like the Louisiana Purchase. The significance of this was that Louisiana is right next to Texas. Texas was a large amount of land, and could have many possibilities like new resources for different things which could bring money into Mexico. More Americans started moving to Texas and it then became more independent and more American. Texas then declared independence from Mexico in 1836. War began in 1846. In the time period of 1836-1846: in 1845 Texas is admitted to the Union
