Yes, this was a battle on Christmas day in 1864 by a joint army-navy Union Army force on Fort Filsher... which was a Confedeeracy bstion that, at that time, protected the South's remaining major port of Wilmington, N.C.\n\nAs a result of that fizzled battle, the 10,000 Union attackers suffered 1,338 casualties. The 1,500 Rebels lost about 500 killed and wounded, with the rest captured.

The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico began with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas on Apr. 25, 1846. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed (Feb. 2, 1848) at Guadalupe Hidalgo. In addition to recognizing the U.S. annexation of Texas defeated Mexico ceded California and , New Mexico (including all the present-day states of the Southwest) to the United States.

Actually, the cry of "Remember the Alamo" comes from Sam Houston, when he took his troops into Texas, they were rather disorganized.  When they found Santa Ana's troops, Sam was rather worried about his troops not being fired up, so he screamed "Remember the Alamo" as they were charging into battle.  History says that they were killing brutally long after the battle was over.

First of all, you have several different events mixed together here.  The United States did not take Texas from Mexico in a war (just or otherwise).  A number of settlers in Texas (primarily Americans who had immigrated to Mexico) staged a rebellion in 1836 to break away from Mexico and form their own independant country (The Republic of Texas).  Although the United States did provide some support for the rebels, it was not a war between the US and Mexico and no US troops were directly involved.  Texas was an independant country separate from the US for almost 10 years before it decided to join the US as a state in 1845.\n\nOn the other hand, much of New Mexico was taken from Mexico following the Mexican-American War of 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hildago.  In this war, there is little doubt that the US was looking to start a fight as a pretext for getting land (the reason for the war - Mexican troops supposedly crossing the Rio Grande River - was dubious at best).  \n\nHowever, the lower one third of New Mexico did not become part of the US until it was purchased (along with southern Arizona) in 1856 at a cost of $10 million dollars.  It is true that Mexico was ruled by a dictator at the time, but then it was for most of the 19th century and $10 million was probably a pretty fair price for that time period considering how remote and undeveloped the area was.\n\nAs for if the Mexican-American War (and to a lesser degree the Gadsden Purchase) were just... that is largely a matter of opinion.  The answer is probably 'No' by most peoples standards since the US started the war under somewhat false pretenses.  However, it is worth noting that the Spanish/Mexicans themselves had originally taken the land away from the Native Americans in the first place under even less just pretenses.    \n\nIs one thief stealing from another unjust?  There are very few cultures on this planet (including many Native American tribes for that matter) who did not get their land by displacing or forcing away some other group that was there before.  That does not make it right (and has caused much of the hardship and suffering over the history of the world), but neither is it fair to single out just one group and ignore similar offenses by others.  \n\nLastly, it is worth noting that while New Mexico was heavily populated, most of the land taken following the Mexican-American War (including large parts of Colorado and Utah) had NO Mexican settlements at all, was rarely visited, and really did not belong to Mexico (or any other country) any more than saying the entire moon 'belongs' to the US because a few American astronauts briefly walked on one small part of it 30 years ago.

The Battle of the Alamo was a 19th Century battle between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texan forces during the Texas Revolution. It took place at the Alamo mission in San Antonio, Texas (then known as "San Antonio de Béxar") in February and March of 1836. The 13-day siege ended on March 6 with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texian defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the loss, the 13-day holdout allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later successful battle at San Jacinto.\n\nIt is important to note that the defenders of the Alamo, as with all of the early battles in the Texas Revolution, were technically fighting for restoration of the previous Mexican Constitution of 1824 and not necessarily for actual independence from Mexico. It is highly unlikely that any of the defenders were even aware that independence had been formally declared before the end of the battle.

One of the most famous battles, and also one of the bloodiest, took place in West Tennessee.  It was called the battle of Shiloh.  It only took place from April 6-7, 1862.  For the Union it was led by Ulysees S. Grant and Don Carlos Buell.  For the Confederates it was Albert Sidney Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard, Johnston actually died in this battle.  The union had about 67,000 soldiers fight and the confederates had about 45,000.  13,047 Union soldiers were hurt in this battle, 1,754 killed, 8,408 wounded and the rest were missing or captured.  The confederates had 10,684 hurt, 1,723 killed, 8,012 wounded, and 959 missing or captured.  The Union won The Battle of Shiloh.  \n\nOne from Middle Tennessee was the Battle of Stones River.  Here's just the facts:\n\nResult(s): Union victory\n\nLocation: Rutherford County\n\nCampaign: Stones River Campaign (1862-63)\n\nDate(s): December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863\n\nPrincipal Commanders: Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans [US]; Gen. Braxton Bragg [CS]\n\nForces Engaged: Army of the Cumberland [US]; Army of Tennessee [CS]\n\nEstimated Casualties: 23,515 total (US 13,249; CS 10,266)\n\nHope this helps!

In 1916, Francisco Villa, leader of the peasant uprisings in northern Mexico, raided Columbus, New Mexico, in an attempt to expose Mexican government collaboration with the United States. President Woodrow Wilson responded by ordering an invasion of Mexico. Five years after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, which was characterized by hope for social change as well as death, hunger, and violence, many Mexicans did not welcome further involvement by the U.S. In the following correspondence, Secretary of State Robert Lansing and President Wilson described the need to carefully frame the invasion as a defense of U.S. borders rather than interference in the Mexican Revolution. The resulting invasion, led by General John Pershing, was a total fiasco. It failed to locate Villa and increased anti-U.S. sentiment and Mexican nationalist resolve. \n\n\n\nGo here for more information \n\nhttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/4947/

Texas entered the union on December 29, 1845 by TREATY with the US government not annexation like all of the other states. It is for this reason that Texas is the only state allowed to fly its flag at the same height as the Star Spangled Banner.

By your question I can tell you have no idea why the War of Northern Aggression (aka Civil War) was fought. In actuality only the north and mainly Lincoln made it a racial war. Lincoln had to have a reason for fighting his war because he had lost his biggest asset for running the government and the North was rapidly going into a depression without the tax money from the South. Lincoln provoked the war to bring back the southern states to regain the taxes he had lost with the succession of the south by putting more and more troops into Ft. Sumter against the demands of the Confederacy not to do so. President Davis sent several emissaries to Washington requesting no additional troops or arms into the fort or the Confederacy would consider it an aggressive act of war and fire. Lincoln put more troops and arms in and the Confederacy fired.\n\nIf you go to the South today you will find in almost every state that there is not a reestablishment of racial supremacy by the whites, On the contrary, especially in Mississippi the blacks are taking over city governments rapidly and most do not make any bones about it they want the whites out. I heard this myself while in MS last year during mayoral races when one black mayoral canadate said if elected she would do all she could to drive the whites out of her city. She won the vote.\n\nNow before any blacks get upset and start calling me names, I have nothing against blacks in any way. I have a number of very good friends who are black and have a cousin in the my family who is black. I consider all people equal unless an individual person creates a situation that should not be tolerated by anyone.
