Introduction
The Mexican-American war has remained an iconic piece of contemporary Hispanic history in America. Indeed, the Americans have always treated the war as a driving force that has created human civilization as it displaced the week with the stronger population. When conflicts arise, many Americans have been reflecting on humanity’s experiences as solutions to the problems experienced from the war (Samora, 2019). According to Rebman (2019), the annexation of the Republic of Texas was the fundamental cause that set the ground for the Mexican-American War and produced a series of negative outcomes for both countries that could only be mediated through the interface of war.
Journalistic Aspects of War
The historical account compares civil wars and the art of Mexican American war to define journalistic aspects in the American civilization. The majority of scholarly sources on the topic of the Mexican-American War tend to compare the effects of the relationships between the two countries before and after the conflict (Rauf, 2018). This leaves room for a much more thorough discussion on how a variety of journalistic tools were utilized to cover the annexation of Texas and numerous other key events of the Mexican-American War. On the other hand, Guardino (2018) noted that the notions of slavery and manifest destiny represented some of the essential concepts to contribute to a better understanding of the conflict in general.
The conflicts developed through the Mexican-American war have been definitive of the human chronology as an aspect of war, conquests, subjections, and invasions (Elliott, 2021). The growing interest of the American government toward Mexico quickly grew into a media outlet that also became a source of the latest news and multiple stories of conquest and adventures. According to Samora (2019), journalists could utilize anything from courier pigeons to telegraph lines to convey information and gain access to battlefield news. American journalists have been working with the history makers to obtain details related to the civil wars, especially those in specialized American culture lines, and raised provocative arguments (Elliott, 2021). War journalism also allowed for much quicker access to vital factual data.
Mexico’s Declaration of Rights
With different stages of proclamation, the great Mejia created a candidly reasoned declaration of the Mexican rights and protection from the American enemies. The Mexican-American War could be seen as wrongdoing that affected both countries to an extent where they had to recover from the damages (Rebman, 2019). The reputation and dignity were included in Mejia’s speech because he wanted to achieve peace by responding to the United States in a friendly manner. His support relied on solemn treaties and faithful promises that had been made, but the US government had a completely different outlook on the situation.
The war showed a conquest of Texas city which was initially a Mexican territory and was also believed to be an American plan to conquer entire Mexico (Mejia, 1846). The Mexican-American War became a showcase for patriotism and the need to stay away from subjugators and unfair partnerships. The Mexican decision to take arms against America presented a biased decision because they labeled America as their enemy and did not feel safe interacting with Americans (Mejia, 1846). Hence, the Declaration was the only instrument for the Mexicans to respond to the American government in a comprehensive manner.
Research on Civil Wars
Different readings have been presenting history developers to the accounts of the Mexican-American war and other critical factors related to civil wars. The extension to the Pacific Ocean allowed the United States to discover quite a few partnerships and enhance its presence across the globe (Rauf, 2018). Even though there were no significant impacts similar to the US-based slavery, the Mexican-American War could be considered a nation-defining event due to the outcomes that reshaped both Mexico and the United States of America.
Research on civil wars needs first-hand accounts and secondary research to verify all proclamation accounts and their relevance to the political structures (Minster, 2019). The investigations on the Mexican-American War mostly lack debates over the effects of slavery and violent conquests since quite a few scholars fixate on the advent of Republicanism and its inherent influence on the region (Samora, 2019). Ideally, the Americans have used the war as a determinant of the presidential roles in civil wars, among other roles played by the political figures by highlighting the dates of activities occurrences to facilitate a quick review of the events.
Conclusion
In summary, the Mexican-American war context has served as a driving force that has created human civilization as it displaced the week with the stronger population. Research is needed to simplify the context and make it applicable in daily political conflicts. Fortunately, the topic has been widely studied and significant for primary and secondary contextual accounts. While Mexico lost some of its territories, it was also evident that the Mexican-American War had significant implications for the inherent relationship between the two countries. With the willingness of the US government to spread across the continent, it could be expected from the government that the majority of its actions would go far beyond diplomatic relationships and peace treaties.
