Ummm... except we didn't take over Cali until after years of war with Mexico, tons of internal anti-war pressure both from regular citizens (it was the main motivation for Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" essay) and opposition political groups including Abraham Fucking Lincoln, and outcry from Europe (Britain had designs on the region too, for example). So basically you pulled that statement out of your ass, which I guess is par for the course here.
