Abstract
As a result of the Mexican American war, Mexico lost almost half of its territory to the United States. The victory of the Mexican American war seemed to fulfill the citizens' beliefs in Manifest Destiny. The newly acquired territories of the United States put pressure between the Northern and the Southern states. The Northern states were against slavery and the Southern states were for it, thus a decision had to be made. The South wanted to expand their agriculture and as the newly acquired Western states were agricultural, the South felt they had rights to it. The North however, feared a Southern takeover and wanted the South contained. ("Mexican American war")
