Content: Impatient for an end to the impasse, South Carolina reverted to force. That the 1846–48 conflict between Mexico and the United States was fifteen years before is coincidental. Though The South (TM) championed the conflict with Mexico in hoping for annexation of more potential slave territory (even though Mexico had abolished slavery), the Mexican war really had no connections—politically or otherwise—with the Civil War.

No the Mexican American war had little to do with the Civil war. The civil war was primarily economic, and slavery was a major economic concern. The North forced the South to sell it’s products to the North. The failure of the South to develop competing industry was crippling it’s economy and the inability to sell cotton and other goods to England or other nations further crushed the economy. Slaves were seen as a necessary evil by the South despite the fact that slavery was made obsolete by the cotton gin and growing opposition to slavery in the South.
