Mexican War:

THE MEXICAN WAR. REVIEW OF THE ANNUAL MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO CONGRESS, DECEMBER 7, 1847.

[Washington: Towers, 1847]. 32pp, disbound with a bit of loosening. Clean and Very Good.

A Whig attack on President Polk, for deliberately initiating a war of conquest, lying about it, and seeking to turn the Nation into an imperial power with a large standing army. This pamphlet demonstrates the speciousness of Polk's claim that the War was commenced by Mexico when its troops crossed the Rio Grande; and argues that the United States deliberately began hostilities without any support for its claim that the American boundary with Mexico extended to the Rio Grande.
