Our Former Mexican War
The sfan, the FinisIi and the Pr0fifs

Sixty-eight years ago this month the
United States precipitated war with
Mexico, which continued from April %,
1886, until September, 1871, and added
65l,59o square miles of territory. exclu-
sive of Texas. to this country, an area
nine times as large as the state OF Ne
braska.
The southwestern boundary line OF
Texas. whether the Rio Grande or the
river Nueces. was the primary cause OF
the war. but back OF il was the stimu-
lus of Manifest destiny the acquisi-
tion OF New Mexico and California and
the spur for revenge for the massacre
OF the Alamo. President Polk assumed
the right TO decide upon the Rio Grande
as the boundary without Mexico's con
sent
Zachary Taylor was a general of the
American forces in that day. He was
a Nirginian who had served in the war
of 1912 and in the Black Hawk, Semi
mole and various other Indian wars with
distinction, and later became president.
He was ordered by Polk TO march
westward OF the Nueces. This was be
fore annexation was accomplished The
president thus put peace in peril. Texas
! had claimed the Rio Grande as the
boundary, but of the land between it
and the Nueces il had never been in
possession.
Taylor marched. according TO orders
to the Rio Grande. He reached il at
what is now known as Brownsville. Ar
rived there, he planted a battery which
commanded the public square or plaza
in Matamoras, Mexico, across the river.
He likewise blockaded the mouth of the
stream.
The Mexican commander at Mata-
moras naturally held that this was be-
lginning hostilities. Sc he crossed over
the river April %. lS46, and his force
had skirmish with a small force OF
loun men. In it sixteen of our dragons
were killed.
The president then notified congress
that American blood had been spilled
on American soil. And the war was be.
lgun.
We were unready, of course, but the
lwar went on. Taylor commanded IN

of Palo Alto, May 3. 1916, and that OF

lFor this he won rank as major general.
Meanwhile, Winfield Scott, another
American commander, had been carrying

country.

the line between Vera Cruz and the
capital
This position was thanked April ls
and attacked by three columns. The
divisions of Twigg and North went up
TO the heights gallantlv. Here Santa
Ana commanded In person, but the
heights was carried by storm and its
gums turned on another part of the field
that Pillow was assailing. The MeXi-
cans didn't care for much of that sore of
thing and soon surrendered. Santa Ana,
for his part fled to Jalapa. with Scott
in pursuit. The latter fought well
enough, but Santa Ana beat him-in the
running.
A moath or so after this fight at
Cerro Gordo the Americans occupied
Puebla Here Scott was compelled to
wait during june and July 20 receive
reinforcements and t0 drill thriu.
August 7 he set out for the capital,
which by this time was defended by some
10000 men.
A series Of engagements followed this
movement August 10 and 20 three
battles were fought, namely. those OF
Contreras, Churubusco and San Antonio.
These were really parts OF one general
engagement.
Let il not be imagined for a moment
that the Mexicans did not fight They
fought here with bravery and stubborn
ness. But in the end they were com
lpletely routed. Pursuit of them reached
to the very gates OF their capital.
The Notifications of the capital were
known as Molno del Rey, Casa Mata
and Chapultepec. They were considered
formidable
September an armistice terminated.
Negotiations failing, Scott prepared to
move ON these works. September he
attacked.
Santa Ana was in command here. He
was an old campaigner. He had
governed Mexico, with some intermis-
sions, for twenty years. He drew up
his forces with the right on Casa Mata
and the left on Molino del Rey
Both these positions were carried by
assault and the Mexicans driven from
the field.
The next two days were given TO the
assault of Chapultepec. Batteries were
planted on both sides for this purpose,
and September l3 asimultaneous assault
was made.
The American troops at the same time
stormed the fortress. The works were
carried and the enemy fed in confusion.
The American army pursued them
along the causeway of Belem and San
Cosme, fighting TO the gates of the city.
Here the enemy stood and made
desperate resistance. The struggle lasted
till nightfall.
That night our men rested on their
arms. Early the next morolng a de-
lputation of the enemy arrived asking
for terms. They were refused and the
divisions of North and Quitman entered
the city.
There was street fighting, however
for two days before the Americans Sc
cured possession of the city.
Negotiations now were renewed. There
was guerrilla warfare a while longer
hut the principal towns were garrisoned
by our troops and our men carried or
the government. February , a treaty
of peace was signed and ratification
were exchanged month or two later.
