LAD #12 Polk's War Message

Polk's war message is a detailed explanation for America's right to invade Mexico. Polk first sent diplomats to negotiate peace in Mexico, but in the height of the revolution the Mexican government decided that it wasn't necessary to negotiate peace with The United States. As an alternative, Mexico went to war with The United States and several deaths resulted in this war. Despite all of the deaths, Polk felt that the war was necessary.
