Description
The Mexican War is known for the invaluable experience it provided to future Civil War officers and as an example of America’s drive to fulfill her “Manifest Destiny.” Instead, it examines civil-military clashes during the war in light of Jacksonian politics and the American citizen-soldier tradition, looking both at events that shed light on civilian authority over the military and at the far reaching impact of political ambition during this period (specifically, presidential power and the quest for the presidency).
