How the Mexican American border came to be and how the conquistadors that murdered Incas,Aztecs,Toltec and many millions of people (before the United States existed) now want there former conquered land back..
just a rant about things i see coming
This vid is a school project about the Mexican American War
A war between two neighbors, the Mexican-American War was a watershed event for both nations. "Manifest Destiny" had become the theme song of the United States, which was a young country in the process of expanding its territories westward. General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the victor at the Alamo in 1836, wanted Texas back. The US government annexed Texas in 1845, ignoring warnings that annexation would lead to war. Hostilities broke out on May 3, with an artillery duel between Matamoros and Brownsville. Some 2300 US troops crossed the Rio Grande in 1847 and started a series of battles as they fought their way south to Mexico City, joining other forces until the total number was some 78000 men. By the end of the war, Mexico had lost nearly half of her territory, from Texas to California, and the US had become a continental power. The art is largely the work of two men. The massive battle scenes are from the prints of Carl Nebel, while the closer, more intimate watercolors are the work of an American trooper, Sam Chamberlain. As for music, among the many theories as to where the Mexican word for pasty-faced North Americans -- "gringo" -- first evolved, some say it was from repetitive singing of American troops of a favorite ditty of the day, "Green Grow the Lilacs." Here you will hear Tex Ritter singing that old favorite, followed by the traditional "Mexican Hat Dance."

A "Common Craft" explanation of the Mexican-American War by Mr. Canton's 2nd Hour US History class.
Prior to the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma (May 8th/9th 1846) there were exchanges of goods between the citizens of Matamoros and the American encampment at Fort Texas (later known as Ft. Brown) on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande. Rumor went around that some of the citizens walking around were Mexican officers in disguise secretly distributing leaflets calling the immigrant soldiers who made up some of the ranks of the American force to desert to the Mexican cause with promise of good treatment, money, and land. Many did take the offer and some went on to fight against the majority that did stay under the stars and bars as early as the Siege of Fort Texas. The most famous of course was the Saint Patrick's Battalion. Here we have a soldier who already had a previous infraction for selling his bayonet and flint for whiskey who's getting into more trouble for having this note in his cartridge box. Now either Mexican agents had either skilfully planted this note in his cartridge box or the soldier's telling the truth. I'll leave that up for you to decide. The note the Corporal is reciting is the very one that was actually distributed among the American troops and was dictated by Pedro de Ampudia whom prior to the appointment of Mariano Arista was briefly the Commander-in-Chief of Mexico's Army of the North. Apologies for the shaky camera and snickering at the end, I couldn't help myself. This was taken at the April 3rd 2010 living history event at Palo Alto ...
a brief animation i did for my history class
Truce...
Mexican-American War. Santa Anna mission was to restore order in Mexico because American dictator's were killing, and abusing over Black slaves entering Mexico. Santa Anna fought for our lands. Santa Anna did not killed women or child's at the Alamo. Mexicans brought the name Texas to the map, but Whites called them self's "Texans" a name that doesn't belong to the White squatter's. The White squatters were bankers, Farmers, Lawyers, and Slave owners. Slave owners are considered dictators. You White squatters have no idea what Texas means. The word "Texas" is a Native word from my "Anahuac" language.
