Before President Polk’s term, which river had the U.S. government recognized as the border between Mexico and Texas? Which river did Texas claim as its border with Mexico? Which river did Polk choose as the border? How did Polk’s choice of the border allow the United States to provoke a war with Mexico?

Sagot :
