Question

What is something that happened to Mexican Americans only during westward expansion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Polk declared war against Mexico, falsely claiming that the Mexican army had "invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil.” The war proved to be relatively unpopular, in part because many Northerners objected to what they saw as a war to expand the “slaveocracy.”
