The quote below is from President James K. Polk’s request to Congress to declare war on Mexico: “Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory, and shed American blood upon the American soul.”

From Mexico’s point of view, this was inaccurate because:

a
It interpreted the stationing of US troops on the Rio Grande as an act of war
b
It had not killed any Americans
c
It believed it was acting in self-defense
d
It did not consider the Rio Grande the boundary of the United States
