Justification for Mexican American War !

The Mexican American War was something caused by reactions to the issue of freedom. When Mexico gained it's freedom along with Texas they were both free states however, left on their own without the comfort of a support system from fellow states. However, America took unjust actions against these two newly free states and attempted to take total control of their land. By not only tricking them into singing unfair treaties but using the upper hand they gained to take control over weaker states.

Gregory Hospodor, a American citizen brought the argument of America's unjust actions into play by stating his thoughts and opinions on the situation. Hospodor felt what America did was unjust seeing as they took something that did not belong to them. James Polk, the president of America at the time being felt that America needed to expand their land for the sake of the overpopulation issues that were taking place. Therefor, when Mexico and Texas became free yet vulnerable states America jumped at the opportunity, taking advantage of whatever they could. These actions were clearly unjust if not unfair, which had great repercussions some of which leading to war. With war now in the cards America basically didn't want to deal with the drama that war would have entailed which resulted in treaties, Americas main way of fixing things.

Lee Eysturlid sided with America in this argument claiming that their actions were not only respectful but the farthest thing from unjust. Eysturlid, unlike Hospodor felt that the actions America took were not only helpful to America but helpful to the other countries surrounding them. The main reasoning behind the attempted land claim was due to America's need for extra space. The population was getting larger and larger at a faster speed than America was ready to handle, hence why large amounts of cheap land were needed. This is why Eysturlid felt that Americas actions showed helpful behavior because what they did was not only helping others but solving a huge issue for America at the time.

Personally, I feel that the actions the America took illustrated very disrespectful and unjust behavior. Not only did we use our power to take the upper hand, but we used our former knowledge and our resources to take advantage of Mexico and Texas. Yes, we were trying to solve some of the problems that our country was facing, however we exerted greedy behavior by doing things that were for our benefit only. I agree one hundred percent with Gregory Hospodor's argument, though I feel that Lee Eysturdild proved some good points what we did was rude and but innocent citizens in danger.

Though I've mentioned it before if not several times America's actions were unjust. Yes, that's my personally opinion but you being the reader really have to think about the repercussions from our actions. We kicked innocent people out of their homes for purely our own benefit. Not only leaving many homeless, but some scared and others killed.
