2 Manifest Destiny Trails West

3 A belief in Manifest Destiny led many Americans to go west in the early 1800s. 2 min. 51 sec. [It is] our manifest destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federated self-government entrusted to us. --John L. O Sullivan, New York Morning News, Dec. 27, 1845

4 To reach the Far West, Americans followed established trails. Oregon Trail California Trail Santa Fe Trail

5 The Santa Fe Trail, from Independence, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico, was an overland trade route opened in 1822.

6 Starting in 1843, thousands of emigrants went west on the 2,000 mile-long Oregon and California Trails. At that time California was part of Mexico. 3 min. 3 sec.

13 Immigrants could have over 4,000 acres of land for just $100. They had to agree to become Mexican citizens and take up the Roman Catholic faith.

14 In 1830, when the Anglo population reached 30,000, worried Mexican officials banned any further immigration into Texas.

15 In 1835 General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna became President of Mexico. When he centralized power in Mexico City and became a virtual dictator, the Texians rebelled.

President John Tyler

22 Mexico s counter-offer: Conditional Recognition of Independence [But] if this negotiation is not realized on account of circumstances, or because Texas should consent [to annexation], Mexico s offer to recognize the Texan independence shall be considered as null and void.

23 July 4, 1845: Texans reject Mexico s offer and accept annexation to the U.S.

24 In August, President Polk sent troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to guard against a Mexican invasion.

25 Sept. 1845: Polk sends Diplomat John Slidell to Mexico, to try to negotiate the sale of California and New Mexico. The Mexican government refused to talk to Slidell.

26 On December 29, 1845, Texas became the 28th state of the Union.

27 The U.S.-Mexican War

28 In May 1846, Mexican troops crossed the Rio Grande to attack the U.S. Army.

29 On May 13, 1846, Congress declared war against Mexico. 5 min. 05 sec. "After reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American Soil. She has proclaimed that hostilities have commenced, and that the two nations are at war." --U.S. President James K. Polk, May 11, 1846
