Mexico did not start the war:shock:. Texas belonged to Mexico and one too many gringos were migrating illegally into Texas without assimilating into Mexican society so Mexico had the right to kick out the gringos that were starting problems so it wasn't that Mexico started the war. And just because Mexico refused to sell the land to the US did not make it right for the gringos to take it by force:shock:.
Texas threw off mexico as its own independent republic around a decade before the US went to war w/ mexico.
