Is there a freely viewable facsimile of the 1846 Harper & Brothers illustrated Bible online?
Q. Just wondering. I've been trying different terms in Google, but I haven't found it yet. Thank you! @ Thomas, the Harper's Pictorial Bible is, to my knowledge, the most lavishly illustrated printed Bible in history. There's somewhere close to 2,000 illustrations (I forget the exact number), and each illuminated initial is different (e.g., there's not a single repeated design for an "A" throughout the entire Bible). @ Biser, Harper & Brothers was a 19th century printing company.

Are many books of the Mexican American war 1846-1848 biased ?
Q. I want to know if many of the books of the Mexican American war ( on the American side) are biased because of how the conflict between the US and Mexican forces from 1846-1848 portrayed. It seems that many of the books do not go into detail about the conflict nor lifestyle of the people during the period.

Napoleon III of France live in Southport, UK between 1846 and 1848?
Q. I understand he lived on Lord street, does anybody know which building / address?
Asked by **1066** - Fri Jan 11 16:07:04 2008 - History - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Can't find the exact address. But it may be of interest that Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte did not become emperor of France until several years after he returned to France from Southport. After he returned to France in 1848 he actually ran for president of the French Second Republic and won. After three years in office -- on December 2, 1851 -- he staged a successful coup. Exactly a year later -- as the result of a referendum -- the Second Republic was officially ended and the Second French Empire inaugurated, and President Bonaparte became Emperor Napoleon III.

Are there any true versions of the Mexican-American War 1846-1848 either online or in printed forms?
Q. I had some doubts about some of the battle accounts and numbers of forces of the Mexican War, based upon many of the books about the subject. However, it could be that the thousands of US and Mexican troops mentioned in these books, during the war, were reserves, they did not see much combat. I wondered why many of the books of the Mexican War did not mention the reserves or details about the battles.

Asked by caligal101 - Wed May 7 12:37:30 2008 - History - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Manifest Destiny was a term used in the 1840s to justify the United States' westward expansion into such areas as Texas, Oregon, and California. There was a widely held underlying belief that Americans, the "chosen people," had a divinely inspired mission to spread the fruits of their democracy across the entire continent to the "less fortunate." (usually meaning Native Americans and other non-Europeans)

Are there any myths about the Mexican American War 1846-1848?
Q. I have been reading accounts about the war and they said that the Mexican soldiers had poor weapons and most of the US soldiers died from disease. In addition, Santa Anna was recorded to be a dictator in Mexico City.
Asked by grasshopper_60619 - Tue Jan 23 17:24:19 2007 - History - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Many Mexican elites believe that to become a modern nation, Mexico has to restructure its economy and regain the territory it lost during the first Mexican war. For over a century, Mexican nationalists have used the myths and symbols of a lost but glorious indigenous past to motivate its plans for expansion. D. H. Lawrence wrote about this myth building in his novel, The Plumed Serpent. Finally, in the larger view of the American West, the war had the effect of modifying Western mythology by strengthening the American Westerners sense of their own infallibility and invincibility as compared to the supposedly inferior Mexicans and Indians.

Asked by Jill the whipper-snapper - Mon May 12 09:46:01 2008 - History - 1 Answers - Comments

A. No, it should not be handed back regardless of what current political correctness wants or what historical revisionist say. "The Great Land Grab" was political propaganda used by the Northern faction of the Wig party, that which evolved into the Republican party, as a criticism of President Polk and because they feared they would lose political power to Southern Democrats. The Southwest was largely uninhabited at the time. The Mexican government encouraged immigration to Texas with the promise of certain rights. After the dictator Santa Anna came to power, he reneged on those rights. This lead to Texas to fight for and gain its independence, just like the US did from England. Texas then asked to join the US. Santa Anna never… [cont.]

Asked by grasshopper_60619 - Fri May 15 19:24:20 2009 - History - 1 Answers - Comments

A. There have been quite a few good histories of the war, at least in English. The Mexican War has been the subject of so much scholarship for several reasons - many of the junior US officers became Civil War generals, on both sides; the divisive issue of whether territory obtained in the war should be slave or free helped bring the sectional divide to the point of war; it featured two of the most brilliant military campaigns ever in American history; and the people rewarded one successful general with the American presidency. One of the more interesting aspects of the war is the "all Mexico" movement. When Winfield Scott took 9,000 troops from Vera Cruz and battled his way into the valley of Mexico, capturing the largest city in… [cont.]

A. Some went into Mexico, especially those that sided with the Mexicans during the War. One glaring exemption though, was a former Captain in the Texan Army during the Texas War of Independence. He had actually left the Alamo under orders to take a message to Houston who refused to allow him to return to the Alamo. He switched sides after the annexation of Texas into the U.S. and commanded a Battalion of Mexicans during the Mexican War. He later returned to his ranch in Texas and was left alone.

A. Mexico claimed part of the U.S. which was part of Texas. They killed some American troops north of the Rio Grand River and were occupying the area. Santa Anna felt that the Northerners wouldn't fight to stop a bit of land theft from a southern state, but over the objections of southern-hating northern politicians, like Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant, the president went to war anyway.
