Polk’s message to Congress“...after reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed
the boundary of the United States, has invaded
our territory and shed American blood upon
the American soil. She has proclaimed that
hostilities have commenced, and that the two
nations are now at war...I invoke the prompt
action of Congress to recognize the existence
of the war, and to place it at the disposal of the
Executive the means of prosecuting the war
with vigor...”
