05.06 Friend or Foe, Mexico? FLVS

1 -Describe events that explain the border differences between these maps. Use information from the maps and the lesson in your response. Use complete sentences.

There are clear differences in territorial borders. The United States

gained not only the land in its expansion but the authority that goes with

it. More especially they have greater access to wealth and resources

giving them an edge in purchasing and owning more and more lands

and territories.

2 -Besides land, what did the United States gain from expansion? Use information from the maps and the lesson in your response. Use complete sentences.

One reason could be interest in natural resources. This is common in

territories that have resources such as gold, oil and coal. Also the

southerners wanted to use this new land to just continue slavery.

Step Two: Answer the question below using the framework

provided.

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 and maps to explain your claim with at least two reasons.

The United States should have declared war because there were many

mixed relationships between the US and Mexico. The us wanted Texas

to help complete the idea of Manifest Destiny. Mexico was not fit to

govern Texas. Reason 1 the US joined the war because the Mexicans

provoked the war by killing Americans. A second reason is Mexico

wasn't fit for Texas because Mexicans killed Americans on disputed

territory. The Americans were made that blood was being shed on

American soil.

Step Three: Form your counterargument using the framework provided. Reporter McQuill mentions your claim will be stronger if you respond well to someone who disagrees with you. Use this framework to challenge a counterclaim.

Even though some people think that the fact that the United States won

is a reason to celebrate, it is also true that this victory has likely led to

worse diplomatic relations with Mexico.
