Primary Sources on the Mexican-American War
Refer to Map 14.5 on p. 301 of Out of Many when reading these sources. President Polk and Congressman Lincoln refer to the Del Norte River. That is
another name for the Rio Grande. The Nueces River was the boundary between
the Republic of Texas and Mexico; on the map in Out of Many, it forms the
border between the Republic of Texas and an area labelled “Disputed by Texas
and Mexico”.
