Corwin states that the immediate consequence of the Mexican war will produce an "internal commotion" in the United States. Summarize what this "internal commotion" is and how it will bring the United States into a "collision point."

Corvins intended audience is the president of the United States. The reason he made this address to this president is because as president he had the powers to send troops to war.

Another reason is because the president could get popular vote from the senate on why the US should not go into war with Mexico.
