Ignorant people claim California never belonged to Mexico. They bristle at the charge the United States criminally stole California from Mexico.

California was legally part of Mexico and, yes, the United States stole California and what is now Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and parts of Oklahoma and Kansas from Mexico in a crime Vladimir Putin would be proud to author.

Who said so? Congressman Abraham Lincoln on January 12, 1848, in a speech that exposed President James Polk’s attack on Mexico in Mexico in 1846.

Lincoln: “The President…declares that the soil was ours on which hostilities were commenced by Mexico…it was incumbent upon him to present the facts from which he concluded the soil was ours, on which the first blood of the war was shed. I…show that the whole of this – issue and evidence – is, from beginning to end, the sheerest deception…he ordered General Taylor into the midst of a peaceful Mexican settlement, purposely to bring on a war…having it now settled that territorial indemnity is the only object, we are urged to seize…all the whole province of Lower California to boot, and to still carry on the war – to take all we are fighting for, and still fight on. So, again, he insists that the separate national existence of Mexico shall be maintained; but he does not tell us how this can be done after we shall have taken all her territory.”
