Скачать или смотреть Abraham Lincoln and Mexico Cindy Medina

Ms. Medina will be discussing the book by noted Ph.D. historian and professor Dr. Michael Hogan. It is one of the best books available about relations between the U.S. and Mexico before, during, and after that war. It helps us better understand our history on both sides of the border.
It shines new light on reasons for the 1846 U.S. invasion, opposition by Abraham Lincoln and other politicians to the unjustified and unconstitutional decision by President Polk to unilaterally initiate the war, the importance of the ensuing war against Mexico, the resulting territorial seizures by the United States, the impact both nationally and internationally to both countries, the troubling legacy even today, and the result of silences that have been pervasive over the years regarding this conflict. It examines all aspects of this history based on actual documents in government, university, and private institutions in both the U.S. and Mexico, including citations to these documents and the complete text for many of them in the Appendix. Decisions made then continue to permeate the daily lives of citizens and residents of both countries today.
