Download Abraham Lincoln and Mexico: A History of Courage, Intrigue, and Unlikely Friendships AudioBook Free
This book with a noted PhD historian is one of the best catalogs available about historical relations between the United States and Mexico. It shines new light on reasons for the united states invasion of Mexico in 1846, opposition by Abraham Lincoln and other politicians to the unjustified and unconstitutional decision by Leader Polk to visit war, the value of the ensuing warfare against Mexico, the ensuing territorial seizures by the United States, the impact both nationally and internationally to both countries, the troubling legacy even today, and the result of silences which have been pervasive over the years regarding this issue. It examines all aspects of this history predicated on real documents in government, college or university, and private establishments in both the US and Mexico, including citations to these documents and the entire text for many of these in the Appendix. The publication addresses more than two decades of US history, from 1846 to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. So, this outstanding publication is a welcome addition to carrying on dialogue about the tasks of the United States and Mexico during two of the very most controversial and complex periods in American history, and exactly how decisions made then continue steadily to permeate the daily lives of citizens and residents of both countries.
