Summary
The Mexican-American War shows Manifest Destiny because U.S is again expanding very quickly. Because America won the war and gained Texas, that gives them not only more land but it gives them a very large idea of superiority and power. This relates to B.N.A colonies because the U.S is expanding very quickly and continuously gaining more land, America might be having ideas about taking away land from B.N.A colonies. The U.S keeps expanding and they're getting stronger They defiantly don't want that to stop. This could mean America doing anything to continue their preeminence.
This is The original Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo it officially declares Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Limits and Settlement between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic.
