War with Mexico


I think that the most important perspectives that were missing from this passage is how the Native Americans would of felt since they were probably going to be forced to move once more. Since the first time they were moved was when Andrew Jackson had them leave, when it was known as the Trail of Tears. Another possible perspective that is missing is the slave’s perspective. The Union was deciding the fate of the slaves but the slaves, obviously, had no say in this.
            Well from what I know. The way that people I know, they see the United States as bullies and aggressors. I still see the people of the United States as ambitious people who just want to prosper in this world. The Americans just believed in Manifest Destiny and they wanted to fulfill “the prophecy”.
