People disagree whether the united states should have gone to war against mexico. should the united states have declared war? consider information from the lesson to explain your claim with at least two reasons and details for support.

The United States shouldn’t have declared war against Mexico because that was Mexico’s rightful land, an alternative could’ve been to buy this land or get agreements to explore. This way, since Mexico was very poor, Mexico could’ve gotten some money and it would be peaceful, America would get to own or explore this land either way, but this option is better! A second reason is all the conflict involved in it all, many people died, 25,000 Mexicans and 12,700 Americans to be exact, there was arguing for whether or not slavery is allowed in these new territories, and the Mexicans suffered many losses that they did not want. America was a stronger nation preying on a weaker one.
