Why did the United States declare war against Mexico? What were two effects of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? Explain in detai
NISA [10]

Answer:

On May 12, 1846, the United States Senate voted 40 to 2 to go to war with Mexico. President James K. Polk had accused Mexican troops of having attacked Americans on U.S. soil, north of the Rio Grande. But Mexico claimed this land as its own territory and accused the American military of having invaded. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848, the treaty allowed the United States to purchase California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado for fifteen million dollars, doubling the size of the United States, but also displacing millions of Mexican citizens in new American territory. Mexico also gave up all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as America's southern boundary.

Hope this information helps! If it doesn't, let me know and I will answer it better

Explanation:

Galveston (/ˈɡælvɪstən/ GAL-vis-tən) is a coastal resort city and port off the southeast coast on Galveston Island and Pelican Island in the U.S. state of Texas. The community of 209.3 square miles (542 km2), with a population of 47,743 in 2010,[4] is the county seat of surrounding Galveston County and second-largest municipality in the county. It is also within the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area at its southern end on the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Galveston, or Galvez' town, was named after the Spanish military and political leader in the 18th century: Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez (1746–1786), who was born in Macharaviaya, Málaga, in the Kingdom of Spain. Galveston's first European settlements on the Galveston Island were built around 1816 by French pirate Louis-Michel Aury to help the fledgling Republic of Mexico fight for independence from Spain, along with other colonies in the Western Hemisphere of the Americas in Central and South America in the 1810s and 1820s. The Port of Galveston was established in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico following its independence from Spain. The city was the main port for the fledgling Texas Navy during the Texas Revolution of 1836, and later served temporarily as the new national capital of the Republic of Texas.

Which two arguments did the Supreme Court use to uphold the constitutionality of korematsu’s internment
LenKa [72]

The two principal arguments that the court take into account in favor of korematsu in his case against the United States are that Korematsu was in fact an American citizen, and that he did not committed any crime but living in America during World War II. Korematsu did not relocate when the order was given because he was born in the United States, while their parents that attended the relocation were born in Japan.
