This is the best fact I've ever heard thank you lmao
Imagine fighting a whole war to keep territory and then just giving some up to a neighbor state because owning people is more important to you than what you literally just killed a ton of people over.
A reason for the Mexican American war was to get more territory for slave states too. Others called filibusters had their own private armies for the purpose of invading parts of Latin America to “liberate” territory for the slave economy. There was a group that wanted to annex everything down to the Darian Gap for the purpose of creating a massive bloc of slave states.
