No problem, Sarah- never claimed to be an expert on Texican History, so I've got some brushing up to do. Truce in the meantime?

If the Mexican War was a war of imperialism, then why isn't Mexico a part of the United States? Believe it had a great deal to do with the Wilmot Proviso & the northern & Free Soil & Abolition elements' opposition to acquisition of additional territories south of "Mason and Dixon's Line" where slavery could be extended. Even 'American Imperialists' aren't always entirely successful!  :-)

Best, Greg
