LAD #12: Polk's War Message

Talking about the relations between the US and Mexico, President Polk says:
The border dispute with Mexico and the US has become increasingly tense and corrective actions need to be made. Polk talks about Mr. Slidell and the struggle in Mexico. When the US said that they were going to annex Texas, Mexico was unhappy, and Polk, when trying to reach the Presidency, promised that he would garner Texas. This led to the Mexican-American War. This war problem with Mexico is solely due to the acts of Mexico and the US is trying to fix it.
