Aristotle in the one. I find his observations about the world to be far more in line with what we know within science than those of Plato and I believe that Plato’s idea of perfect forms has no real evidence or even logical basis. In my mind, Plato’s argument for perfect forms is less of an argument and more of a baseless assertion. Now, I do find Plato to be correct as well in many other regards, such as political philosophy, but I agree far more with the philosophical viewpoint of Aristotle overall
The United States had more people in the territory than Britain and the United States was not looking for war with Britain when Mexico was ready to fight.
