this video is a compilation of 8 Mexican American war songs, why 8? because there isn't very many songs about the war for some reason or least compared to the Napoleonic wars or the us war of independence.
thx for watching
the Mexican American war (1846-1848) was a war that would result in Mexico losing 55% of their territory. some of Americas greatest leaders believed it was a bastard war. Abraham Lincoln called it "immoral, proslavery, and a threat to the nation's republican values." Frederick Douglass said "the Mexican War was a mechanism to expand slavery." General Ulysses S. Grant who although having fought in the war himself in his early military career would go on to say "I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation."
the Mexican American war is a complicated subject and is debated by many weather the war was necessary or immoral. weather it was good or bad, that is up to you to decide
