The Mexican War (or Mexican- American War)
Summary of the Mexican War
The relationship between Manifest Destiny, and the Mexican-American war, is that the US is expanding, which is one of the main parts of Manifest Destiny.The way that the war is a factor in the creation of Canada, is because it frightened the British that the American's declared land that was not previously owned by them, and when they won, the land came with it.This must have gave the British the thought that because the Americans were now in such close proximity with the British, the Americans could attack the British colonies, and with Manifest Destiny, this would mean the British should come together so they have stronger forces to fight with America if ever needed.With the Americans expanding west, and with them declaring almost all of southern North America (Buying Louisiana, Trail of Tears, and the War), also, they showed the attitude that they are better than everyone else, when they kicked out the aboriginals in the trail of tears, and the whole reason for the Mexican-American war to take place, was because the Americans believed that they owned the Texas Territory.
