Sites for the Mexican War and related topics

Many of the following sites are self-explanatory and I did not bother to comment on them. Others were not as obvious.

 

Azteca Web This web is actually a copy of the treaty with Mexico.
Mexican War
Mexican War - Paintings and Lithographs
Black Bean Lottery This site is actually history.net.  If you select it, from the home page select American History.  From there you will be able to select Westward Expansion or 19th Century.

Descendants of Mexican War Veterans This site offers information in concise form and frequently asked questions about the war.

Mexican War - Federation of American Scientists This site has a great deal of information about the causes of the war.

Mexican War - Named Campaigns
Mexican-American War - Enough Blame to Go Around This site has a document that supports its title.  What is especially neat is that if you click onto any of the italicized reference words, you are taken to a bibliography.  This could be used by you for further reference.

Mexican-American War - The History Guy This site offers several references to the war.

Mexican-American War and Hispanic Land Dispossessions This site offers information regarding the loss of property and the serious beginnings of estranged feelings between Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, and Anglos.
