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.
