THE WAR WITH MEXICO 1845-1849
AND HISTORICAL CONSEQUENCES

and not an original purpose of the
war Those who attempt to justify the
war assert that besides defending
American territory from Mexican in
va~ion, the United States compelled
Mexico to make settlement of claims
then long standing, to make repara-
lions for public injuries to the Uni
ted States and insure the early devel-
opment of civilization and lands which
under Mexicon dominion had laid
waste and unoccupied.
One of the noteworthy results was
the training which was afforded to
many American soldiers who were
destined to become leaders in the
great civil war which came fifteen
years later. Such great men as Scott,
Taylor, Grant, Lee, Thomas, Jefferson
Davis and Franklin Pierce were among
the soldiers of the Mexican war who
afterwards rose to fame.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-04-22

eral Scott landed his army near Vera
Cruz and for nine days poured destruc-
tive fire upon the city from batteries
on land and the fleet in the harbor.
The MeXicans surrendered to him the
city and castle. General Scott pro
ceeded towards the City of Mexico, on
the way finding Santa Annals army
strongly fortified in rock gap of the
mountains. The United States en-
gineers, Robert E. Lee and Gustave T.
Beauregard opened a road through
the mountains by which the forces
were led beyond the enemy. The
Mexicans were taken by surprise and
great victory was gained. Santa
Anna in his haste left his wooden leg
which was brought to the United
States and dressed in a handsome
boot for exhibition. The City of Mex
leo was defended by forts and castles
along the roads. September 18th
General SCOTS army fought all day
near the capitol and when night came
the Mexican soldiers left the city.
Next morning the American army
took possession and the war came to a
close soon after these victories. A
treaty Of peace was signed, fixing the
bcund dairy between Texas and Mexico
at the Rio Grande, and ceded to the
United States territory which now in
cludes all of California, Nevada and
Utah, nearly all of Arizona and parts
of ew Mexico, Colorado and WyOm-
ing, in all over five thousand square
miles In return our government paid
fifteen million dollars and became re-
sponaible for the debts amounting to
about three million dollars which Mex
leo owed the United States.
This war cost the United States
about five thousand men and nearly
enc hundred million dollars. Up to
the present time historians have been

considered it as an unjustitiable ag-

purDose of extending the slave power.
Others have regarded it not as war
Of conquest but as a defensive war,
forced upon the United States by pro-
vocation which self-respecting ma
ton could not ignore. The Historians
of the latter class hold that slavery

BY Mrs. j. w. Bivins.


The following concise paper, with
important data, read at the March
meeting of Fort Early chapter, is of
much interest, owing to our recent
trouble with Mexico:
Texas and Mexico could not agree
on their boundary lines. Texas claim
ed the Rio Grande for her southwest
ern boundary line, but Mexico insist
ed that her territory extended to the
Nuces river President Pold sent
General Zachary Taylor with troops
to take possession of the land between
the two rivers. March 18th, 1916, he
marched from Corpus Christi, on the
border to Fort Brown on the Rio
!, Grande. The MeXicans considered
this movement an invasion of their
country, sent a force to attack Gen-
eral Taylor, they were defeated at
Palo Alto and Reseca De La Palma,
the river. The United States army
was to invade Mexican territory in
three divisions. General Taylor's
command was to move forward from
Matamoras, General Kearney's to pass
through New Mexico to California.
General Woods to march into north
ern provinces of Mexico. Reinforce
ments increased General Taylors ar
my in September, and he advanced to
by strong forts and heavy cannons.
General Taylor lead the attack on
one side, while one Of his generals
advanced upon it through the noun
tains from another direction. After
four days the place surrendered. A
few weeks'later S3ltillo was taken by
his forces and Tampico was captured
by Commodore Pcary with his fleet.
General Scott was sent with an army
against Vera Cruz with Instructions
to proceed from that place to the city
of Mexico. He was made commander
sin-chief A large part Of General Tay-
Tors forces was ordered to reinforce
him. Santa Anna, at the head of Mex
lean forces, marched to attack Tay-
lors weakened forces at Saltillo, Tay-
lor, however, stationed his troops in
narrow mountain pass at Beuna Wis
ia, eleven miles off and waited for the
enemy. A battle was fought there in
! which the Mexicans were compelled
to retreat and their strength was so
broken that General Scott was able
to move all of his army against Vera
Cruze and the City of Mexico. Gen

Report of committee at d. A. r.
Conference at Quitman:
| feel that the appointment of a
special committee by the state regent
to consider Better Films for Child
dren," and report on same at this
conference, was most opportune. The
whole nation seems to be arouslng
from it's lethargy in this respect, and
in nearly every state in the Union
plans are being formulated to bring
about better motion pictures for chill
dren, and incidentally for the gener-
al public.
AS chairman of this special commit
tee, l offer report deducted from a
careful investigation of the motion
picture situation, and from four
months successful experience with
special pictures for children. l trust
this report may place this important
matter before this conference in such
a specific way as to call for definite,
snacific action on the part of this band
ST patriotic women.
That the motion picture is the most
potential power for education abroad
in the land today is a statement no
one can gainsay. But what Of it as
it is now operated? 1t is a menace
to our country-corruptin the thought
and high ideals of our great nation,
and destroying the morals Of our
youth, the citizenship of tomorrow, Do
you not realize the gravity of the sit
uation? Can we afford longer to sit
