520 _a"Mexican Letters Written During the Progress of the Late War Between the United States and Mexico" by B. H. M. Brackenridge is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work comprises a collection of letters that reflect the author's political views on the Mexican-American War, exploring the justifications for the war and the complexities of U.S.-Mexico relations during that time. Brackenridge articulates his perspective on the events leading to the conflict, particularly regarding the annexation of Texas and its implications for both nations. The opening of the book sets the stage for Brackenridge's rationale behind the war, emphasizing the necessity of defending one's country against perceived aggressors. He argues for the legitimacy of Texas's separation from Mexico and the right of the United States to annex it, dismissing criticisms of American actions as unjust. The author expresses concerns over the future balance of power in North America, analyzing the impact of military conquests and the possibility of future conflicts. Brackenridge's reflections offer insights into the mindset of American citizens during this tumultuous period and present a case for supporting the war as a patriotic duty.
