Additional Information
Following the annexation of Texas by the United States, the Mexican-American War broke out in 1846, with American forces invading Mexico. The region had been hotly contested throughout the 19th century, and while many Texans supported U.S. annexation, political divisions over slavery delayed Texas' admission to the Union. This 1847 map, published at the height of the conflict, illustrates the geopolitical boundaries of the United States and Mexico at a pivotal moment in history.
In 1836, the Texas Revolution resulted in Texas declaring independence, effectively making it a de facto nation. However, the land remained highly sought after as part of America's westward expansion, fueled by the belief in Manifest Destiny-the idea that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent.
This map, with its distinctive style and classic aesthetic, offers a historical glimpse into the shifting borders and territorial disputes that have shaped North America. It was produced by Monk & Sherer, a cartographic partnership known for its detailed and historically significant maps of the United States during the mid-19th century.
Many historians consider the Mexican-American War a precursor to the American Civil War, as numerous generals and soldiers who fought in this war would later serve on both the Union and Confederate sides. This is an authentic piece of American cartographical history, capturing a defining moment in territorial expansion and military conflict.
