Last, if the U.S. had not won the Mexican War we would have lost some of our land to Mexico. The U.S. would have also not had the Gold Rush that took place in California. In conclusion, the country would have been very different if George Meade had never lived. General George Meade accomplished much during wartime. Most people do not know that Meade defeated Lee at the Second Battle of Bull Run .
Some people even know that the North won that battle.
