How did the war with Mexico lead to conflict between the North and the South?

Many northerners believed that southerners wanted to take territory from Mexico in order to extend slavery.

And Anonymous is supposed to believe someone who calls herself "Cupcake :D" because ...

What exactly are you trying to say?

If you don't back up your statement with some kind of proof (such as where you got your information), why should another student believe you?

Because I have had that question before...and I know the answer.

That's not proof!! That's what you've written, but you haven't told where you got your information.

I've seen students post erroneous info on Jiskha, and that's not helpful for the student asking the question. Basically, unless you can PROVE it (website, textbook name and page, or ... ), you should not bother posting, especially after a real tutor has posted a website on which the student can read for himself -- and then think.

When I try to put a website, it says I'm not allowed.

Next time, I will prove how I got the answer. :D

That's true. But you can indicate where you got it.

For example, you could say, "Go to Google and enter USA vs Mexico + Civil War. The historynet and PBS websites have the best information."

(or something like that)

Ok. Thanks
