Answer:

The Mexican War was justified under the principle of Manifest Destiny.

Explanation:

The Mexican-American War was the first major conflict driven by the ideas of Manifest Destiny, namely the belief that the United States had the God-given right to expand its borders across America, civilizing it. The conflict took place between the United States and Mexico between 1846 and 1848, starting with the annexion of Texas to the United States, and had huge consequences for the future of the nations involved. With the intervention, the United States expanded its territory by about a quarter (25%), while Mexico lost approximately half of its territory (50%).

Among the reasons that led the United States to create the military conflict, the main ones were migratory pressure, the need for new territories and the potential riches of California.

What was one reason why Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment?

Solnce55 [7]

The correct answer is:

A. Lincoln declared it was the South's punishment for starting the Civil War.

Explanation:

The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude; it was ratified in 1865 after the Civil War and states:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

President Lincoln stated in two speeches that Southern states had caused the Civil War because they favored slavery and because of their secession from the Union, his first attempt to abolish slavery was the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but it only freed slaves from the Confederate States of America, so Lincoln pressured the Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment before Southern states were restored as part of the Union so they couldn't vote against the amendment. President Lincoln did not lived to see the final ratification on December 6,1865 because he was assassinated months before.
