What is the lasting impact of the Mexican American War?

         The last impact i that peoples life would change. Their life would change in the way that thier culture would change. Also people would have to speak a different language. And again it would change because if out of nowhere they change rules than alot of people wouldnt be used to the new rules that the government would apply to that country.

question #4

Who are the Los Tres Ninos Hereos? In what battle did they fight? What makes their experience important? How did their actions affect public opinion on both sides of the border? 

This is a picture of los ninos heroes. 
This are the names of los ninos heroes:
Juan de la BarreraAgustin MelgarFernando Montes de OcaVicente SuarezFrancisco MarquezJuan Escutia
And the battle that they fought on was "La Batalla De Angostura".
Today the three heroic children are still recognized in Mexico Especially Juan Escutia who was found dead holding the Mexican flag, which represents that he died with pride of once a Mexican, always a Mexican. He also wrapped himself around a Mexican flag and thats when he jumped off something tall. In Mexico city there is a monument of the three heroic children which shows that they did not die at war, but are still standing in Mexico protecting the city like they did before.
This is the picture of the monument that is in Mexico.

question #3

This is Santa Anna a Mexican general.

Santa Anna was Born in Jalapa in 1794. And Jalapa is in Mexico. He entered the army as a young man and following that, he entered the political fray. Santa Anna was a military strongmen and political opportunitist. He put himself as the savior of Mexico whenever he entered a war. Santa Anna always had the sense of coming back to a war or coming back to get what belongs to him. Over the time of the Mexican American war Santa Anna always plotted what to do next in war and how to react to the enemy. Also Santa Anna was one of the main leaders from the Mexican generals. He was a hero back than and still to this date he will continue to be a hero in Mexico for what he did for his country.

question #2

This is a pic of when the war was being initiated.

The first thing that happened that enraged the Americans was, the law that the Mexican Empire did not allow slavery in its nation and Texas was part of Mexico at the time. To add a part to the statement i just made, the Americans wanted Texas to be annexed to the United States. Mexico would not allow this to happen, so in that action the Americans sent alot of people to try to persuade Mexico to have Texas be given or sold to the United States. Polk was playing tricky with Mexico and was going to ambush, but Mexico attacked first, Thus initiating both countries into the Mexican-American War.

Song

(american)Pride killed one man,
and honor killed many,
if you won't sell me that diamond
with blood i'll take it.
You train your man, I'll train my animals.
At dawn two swords shall clash,
and only one must draw blood.
My expansion keeps me big, but i want to be a giant.
By the end of the day bald eagle will rest on the Alamo.

Chorus: By night we sneek,
By day we fight,
A war we'll win,
The weak will die.

(mexican)My own sweat showers me,
to keep this flag standing.
To keep my kids of the American leash.
We should never rest, and we'll be the best.
My blood is boiling to shred those stars off that flag
Blue eyes meet brown eyes,
we feed that hungry beast the Alamo.
The strong Mexican shield old and antique but still strong.
The Americans lose friends and value, but gained enemies.
What good is it to win and lose.

Chorus:  By night we sneek,
By day we fight,
A war we'll win,
The weak will die.

You won the gold coin, we took the treasure.
Our land is nothing, our pride is big.
For one man kills many, and many kill one.

question #1

What was the Alamo? What happened and why is it important to understanding the Mexican American War?the Alamo was a home that served to missionaries and their Indian converts for about seventy years. The alamo construction began on the present site in 1724. In 1793, Spanish officials secularized San Antonio's five missions and distributed their lands to the indian residents that ramained. It is important to understand the Mexican American war so that people could knw how the lands ended up being owned by the indians.
