what was the impact of the annexation of texas and the mexican american war on the united states?How did the new availability of land and the discovery of gold influence westward?​

Respuesta :

part 1:, Texas was admitted to the United States a slave state. The annexation of Texas contributed to the coming of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The conflict started, in part, over a disagreement about which river was Mexico's true northern border: the Nueces or the Rio Grande.

part 2: The discovery of gold in 1848 by James Marshall sparked a massive wave of westward migration. The largest influx occurred in 1849, and those prospectors who sought their fortunes became known collectively as forty-niners, in reference to the year they arrived.
