Why did Americans from the south and west WANT to go to war with Mexico?

History

The reason Americans from the south and west wanted to go to war with Mexico is because they wanted to expand their territory of the United States. This war was basically a battle for land, or territory. Mexico was fighting to keep their land, while the U.S fought to retain the land from them which is not Texas and more of Mexico's northern lands. The U.S. Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, 1846 with the majority voted for the war to be taken place. They claimed that Mexico crossed the boundaries of the United States and is invading their territory. Another reason why the Americans wanted to go to war with Mexico is to get more land for slavery. They wanted to get more land so they could get more slaves and show their political power upon them. Because Mexico was in a difficult time, it was hard for them to win the war to keep their land, so they gave up and allowed the U.S to take their land

How could someone failing to document treatment cause problems for the patient
Nadusha1986 [10]

It can delay the time for medicine or the right treatment to get to "said" patient. Potentially being a life threatening situation/ Long term issue. Due to human error, the patient wouldn't improve and possibly get worse, and the doctor might not notice till next meeting.

(That's in general what I thought the answer could be. Also heh, you from health science class as well?)

How did the econmienda system benefit spain
NemiM [27]

Answer:

It provided Spain with free Native-American labor to produce more crops cheaply.

Explanation:

The Spanish collected tributes and crops from Native Americans, whom they forced to work for them. Because they didn't have to pay them like they would have to with Spanish laborers, they could harvest more crops for trade and export for a lower cost. This built Spain's economy, allowing even more power and conquest of the New World.

Why did president andrew jackson not want to annex texas because he knew it would divide the nation. why did he think this?
natima [27]
Andrew Jackson worried that annexing (aka adding) Texas to the US would divide the nation because Texas would enter the Union as a slave state. During the early to mid 19th century, US presidents were constantly trying to balance the number of free and slave states. Their reasoning behind this is that they did not want any side (aka free states or slave states) gaining too much power in Congress.

During this time, Northern politicians were worried that having a lot of slave states in Congress would result in the slave states making slavery legal in all of the new territories gained by the US during the 19th century. The Southern politicians were worried that if free states controlled Congress, they would try to make a law/amendment to get rid of slavery.
