Read President's Polk War Message and Summarize
Polk discusses American and Mexican relations including border disputes and violence. Mexico's relationship with American was not very good and the violence between the two lead to many American citizens deaths. Friendly attempts were made to mend with Mexico but Mexico did not give the same mutual efforts. Mr. Slidell was sent by American government to discuss the safety of Americans and establish borders. However, he was rejected by the Mexicans even though he was promised an opportunity to negotiate affairs between the two countries. Overall, Mexico did not enforce treaties, trade was a mess, and mistreatment of Americans were unacceptable. War between the two countries would be justified.
