War Reflection Questions on Polk's Message
The National Intelligencer reviews the latest Polk message and asks readers to answer seven questions. It probes whether U S boundaries already reached the Rio Grande in 1845 and if Tamaulipas was American soil in 1846, whether Mexico started the war, and if prolonged war to force concessions is justifiable. The piece ends by asking if readers will support endless war at great cost to vindicate the President’s consistency.
