AMERICA AND MEXICO, 1846 - A Glimpse into the United States' Westward Expansion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1846, a pivotal time in American history. The image showcases an intricately detailed map of the United States and Mexico, including Oregon, Texas, and California. It serves as a visual representation of the vast territory that was at stake during this period. The map provides valuable insights into the concept of Manifest Destiny - America's belief in its divine right to expand westward. It highlights how this ideology fueled territorial ambitions and ultimately led to conflicts such as the Mexican War. As we examine this historical artifact closely, we can observe various elements that shaped both nations' destinies. From Indian territories to Spanish-influenced regions like Sonora and Mesoamerica, it is evident that multiple cultures coexisted within these borders. The Granger Collection has masterfully preserved this piece of cartography from their Carousel Collection. Through it, they invite us to reflect on America's relentless pursuit of expansionism while acknowledging Mexico's significant role in shaping the Southwest region. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also prompts us to ponder upon our shared past and appreciate how it continues to shape our present-day reality.
