There wasnt a substantial population of Mexicans in the South West area before the Mexican American War. Like the Spanish in the 1400's, Mexico drew a arbitrary line across the south west and said this is ours. Hell the native americans at the time, didnt even like the Mexicans.
Santa Ana, came out of retirement, ran a piss poor campaign, and didnt even come to Mexico City to defend the capital. Hence the lyirc in the Marine Corps fight song; "From the Halls of Montezuma".
We offered $15mil for the south west or keep half of Mexico. The remaining members of the Mexican legislator, that didnt run away in fear, agreed.
