Originally Answered: In what way did Mexican American war lead to civil war? Well, it’s not that complicated: it didn’t. The war with Mexico originated with a border dispute between the two countries. There was really no deeper connection. The issue that started the Civil War was the State of South Carolina firing on the flag of the United States.
