Summary

Controversial and unpopular at the time, the U.S.-Mexican War divided the country's loyalties more than any event since the Revolution. But the realities of the time were powerfully shaped by the belief in the myth of "Manifest Destiny"—that the United States was predestined to occupy the North American continent "from sea to shining sea"—and so a war of conquest was launched. When it was over, the United States had doubled its size at the expense of Mexico, which had shrunk by half.

A fast-moving narrative filled with evocative detail, U.S.-Mexican War, Fourth Edition tells the full story of a long-ignored but critical passage in American military history that was soon overshadowed by the Civil War. Complete with full-color and black-and-white photographs and illustrations, full-color maps, and other further resources, this eBook is suited for middle and high school students seeking unbiased information about U.S. military history.
