5 Death of Harrison & Tyler s Ascendancy Harrison dies of pneumonia Tyler old-school, principled, VA Left Senate b/c of principles Left Democrats due to Jackson More of a minority Whig believed in states rights why he was put on ticket At odds with Whigs on everything President William Henry Harrison had only been in office one month when he died of pneumonia.
6 President w/o a Party Whig platform - nationalistic Financial reforms Bill to end Ind. Treasury signed it New BUS vetoed Fiscal corporation - vetoed His Accidency? Death threats, burned in effigy
7 President w/o a Party Whole cabinet resigned except Webster negotiating with GB Expelled from Whig party House discussed impeachment Tariff of 1842 Vetoed b/c revenue went to states - $ should stay with fed govt Redraft of tariff to 32% - signed
8 War of Words with GB Why anti-british? Memories of wars Rev and War of 1812 Travel books described America as crude British magazines Britain mad about unpaid loans to U.S. America helps Canadians revolt supplies and armed service Caroline (steamship) American ship was carrying supplies to insurgents across Niagara River Attacked on NY shore, set on fire Propaganda depicted it worse
9 War of Words with GB Caroline Canadian McLeod arrested and indicted for murder London Foreign office said execution war McLeod freed after trial Creole British offered asylum to 130 VA slaves who had rebelled and captured American Creole ship in Bahamas More tension
10 Manipulating Maine Maps Aroostook War British want to build a road from Halifax to Quebec go through disputed territory Lumberjacks from Maine and Canada come to Aroostook Valley summoned militias Webster-Ashburton Treaty GB Lord Ashburton and Daniel Webster America would retain 7000 sq. miles of the 12,000 sq. mile wilderness British got 5,000 and road Caroline incident patched up Mesabi Range Adjusted border gave U.S. 6,500 sq. miles of Mesabi iron ore in Minnesota
11 Lone Star State of Texas Treaties Shines Alone Mexico believes Texas is a province in revolt not independent, will be reconquered War with U.S. if we annex Texas needs defense driven to GB and France for a possible protectorate Mexico raided 2x but failed TX made treaties with France, Holland, Belgium
12 Lone Star State of Texas Shines Alone Why does GB want Texas to remain independent? Check American expansion Protect British Caribbean islands Smokescreen for foreign powers to move into Americas (against Monroe Doc) Abolitionist foothold in Texas incited slave rebellions in the South Free trade area unlike tariff-walled US Own cotton land source of cotton France wants to fragment America divide and conquer
13 Belated Texas Nuptials Tyler wanted Texas to give him a good name Annexation by joint resolution needs majority in both houses passed Texas invited to become 28 th state (1845) Needed to otherwise war with foreign countries over Texas??
14 British claims Oregon Fever North of Columbia River 700 there Had colonizing agency Hudson R. Co. Trade with Indians for fur American claims Exploration, missionaries, settlers *Agreed on peaceful joint occupation (1818)
15
16 Oregon Fever Oregon Fever and Oregon Trail 1840s many covered wagons travelled 2000 miles over Oregon Trail 5 mo. journey Many died en route By there
17 The Oregon Trail
18 ALBERT BIERSTADT ( ) The Oregon Trail, 1869
19 Oregon Fever Dispute over border Americans v. 700 British GB wants Columbia R as border America wants 49 th parallel Overshadowed by Texas affair
20 The Oregon Boundary Dispute
21 Manifest Destiny A. Many Americans believed they were destined to conquer the continent 1. Really began with Jackson s Indian removal policies in 1830s 2. Definition coined by John L. O Sullivan
22 Big Ideas 1) Economic and national interests + superiority belief = expansion 2) Expansion = war, new markets, ideological conflicts
23 President James K. Polk Democrat

25 Election of 1844 Whigs Henry Clay Clay, Union, & Liberty or Polk, Slavery, & Texas Said Who is James K. Polk? Said many slaves were branded with JKP
26 Whigs Henry Clay
27 Election of 1844 Democrats James K. Polk (dark horse candidate) Not Van Buren - anti-texas and many Dems were S. expansionists Polk not really unknown Gov. of Tennessee, Speaker of the House Determined, ruthless, intelligent Sponsored by Jackson Young Hickory Get Texas & or Fight (Oregon) Said Clay was a corrupt bargainer and a slaveowner (so was Polk)
28 Dems --> James Knox Polk
29 Liberty Party James Birney
30
31 I want peace with all the world. To enlarge its limits is to extend the dominions of peace over additional territories and increasing millions. The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government. James K Polk Inaugural Address 1845
32 Election of 1844 Main Issue: Manifest Destiny Definition: Greed + liberty Term coined by John L. Sullivan
33 Emmanuel Leutze: Westward the Course of Empire, 1861
34 John Gast, American Progress, 1872
35 Election of 1844 Clay tried to appease all favored annexation of Texas (South), but postpone a few years (North) Vote: 170 to 105 electoral 1,338,464 to 1,300,097 - popular Liberty Party in NY took away votes from Clay Anti-Texas party By getting involved, ensured pro-texas Polk won Polk wins Tyler takes this as America wants Texas
36 Polk s Mission 1. Lower tariff reduced 32% to 25% (Walker Tariff) N and Middle States upset will ruin manufacturing! 2. Restore Independent Treasury done in Settle Oregon dispute 4. Acquire California **achieved it all in one term!
37 Oregon Dispute Offered 49 line again to GB said no GB began changing their minds Didn t want war, Columbia R. not that great, more anti-expansionist now 1846 GB offers 49 line Senate approves treaty Didn t want a fight already at war with Mexico Some mad about this Why are we going after ALL of Texas but NOT ALL of Oregon
38 The Oregon Boundary Dispute
39 Oregon Treaty, 1846: U.S. received land below the 49 th parallel
40 Mexican- American War
41 Background Why California? Manifest Destiny and Gateway to the Pacific Population = 13,000 Spanish Americans, 75,000 Indians, less than 1000 Americans Polk wanted to buy California from Mexico but relations were bitter Mexico owed $3 million to U.S. for damages defaulted on payments Mad after US annexation of Texas Q over boundary Mexico wants Nueces River, US/Texas wants Rio Grande
42
43 Background Rumors that GB was about to buy or seize California violation of Monroe Doc (not true) Polk dispatched John Slidell to Mexico City offer $25 mil for California & land East of it Mexico wouldn t even allow Slidell to present the proposition
44 Causes Jan 1846 Zachary Taylor and 4,000 men sent to Rio Grande Nothing happens for months Polk wants to ask Congress to declare war based on (1) unpaid claims (2) Slidell s rejection Cabinet wants Mexican troops to fire first before asking for war News of Bloodshed! April Mexican troops crossed Rio Grande and attacked Taylor s forces 16 Americans killed/wounded
45 Declaration of War Polk claimed Americans were killed on American soil really it was disputed territory between borders Congress declares war everyone behind it?? Congressman Lincoln wanted investigation into exact spot Whigs say Polk is a liar Mexico won t sell California Polk needed to use force
46 American View Expansionists want to teach Mexico a lesson Taking Mexico makes up for not getting Canada in 1812 Mexico is the aggressor
47 Mexican View America is a bully that needs to be humiliated Invade the U.S., free slaves Hoped for British war over Oregon Mexico would then invade Mexico is the righteous one
48 Course of the War Polk s schemes: Pull out of war once Cali was captured Use Santa Anna (exiled to Cuba) offered to sell out Mexico if we got him back in Double-crossed us once in rallied Mexicans 1846 General Stephen W. Kearney captured Santa Fe on the way to Cali Capt. John C. Fremont took Cali with help of navy and local Americans Bear Flag Revolt
49 Course of the War Gen. Zachary Taylor Old Rough and Ready - went into Mexico Several victories Buena Vista 5000 Americans attacked 20,000 Mexicans with Santa Anna Mexicans pushed back Taylor is a hero American strategy attack Mexico City Main expedition headed by Gen. Winfield Scott Old Fuss and Feathers of War of 1812 Obstacles: inadequate troops, numerous enemy, mountainous terrain, disease, political backbiting back home
50 Declaration of war against Mexico Zachary Taylor across the Nueces River to the Rio Grande Zachary Taylor became America s biggest war hero after the Mexican War and was elected president the year it ended in 1848
51 Gen. Winfield Scott occupies Mexico City
52 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo Polk sent Nicholas P. Trist, member of State Dept, with General Scott Arranged armistice with Santa Anna at a cost of $10,000 Santa Anna took $ and kept fighting Trist recalled but refused to go Treaty signed in Feb 1848 forwarded to Washington Got Texas, California, land east (Mexican cession) US to pay $15 mil and assumed Mexican debt Treaty was submitted to Senate approved but not popular Speed was imperative some want to end war ( Conscience Whigs ) & some want to take over Mexico Polk paid Mexico $18.25 mil due to guilty conscience
53 Profits: Impact America increased more than Louisiana Purchase Satisfied Manifest Destiny Field experience for many officers who will serve in Civil war Lee and Grant trained at West Point Navy used to blockade Mexican ports Annapolis Academy Marine Corps more reputable
54 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848
55 Mexico will poison us! -Emerson Mexico is to us the forbidden fruit the penalty of eating it would be to subject our institutions to political death. -Calhoun
56 Losses: Impact 13,000 lives lost (most by disease) Ugly turning point in relations with Latin America US is greedy and a bully Slavery issue reignited South just started war to increase slavery? Wilmot Proviso David Wilmot of Penn = slavery should never exist in any of the won territory Passed House, not Senate not federal law Polk left behind the slavery issue Mexicans took satisfaction that land won led to war in U.S. (Santa Anna s revenge)
