c) increased the strength of the Mexican government
d) was supported by Abraham Lincoln

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ d) was supported by Abraham Lincoln ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Opposition to the Mexican-American War ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Abraham Lincoln, who was a young congressman at the time of the Mexican-American War, was actually opposed to the war. He questioned President James K. Polk's justification for the war and submitted the "Spot Resolutions," demanding to know the exact spot where Mexican forces had allegedly shed American blood on American soil, which Polk used as a pretext for the war. Lincoln's stance was unpopular at the time and hurt his political career in the short term. ⚹◊What were the consequences of the Mexican American War on the Mexican government and territory?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
