The Mexico War Debate and Territory Boundaries
The article argues the national press largely supports the war with Mexico and criticizes Polk's administration. It discusses the Chief dispute over whether the Nueces or Rio Grande marks Texas western boundary, tracing territorial claims from France through Spain and Mexico to Texas independence, and notes political arguments about which side has rightful possession. It cites figures and opinions from Massachusetts papers and reflects on the broader political stakes of territorial fate between the two rivers.
