Throughout much of the century most Latin American republics suffered from ideological divisions, unstable governments, and violent upheavals. . September 8-14, 1847. Strategic Context. Despite being settled in Texas by Mexico to create a buffer against Apache, Comanche, and Navajo raids, the growing Anglo-American population revolts in 1836 to create an independent Texas republic, sending Mexican general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna into exile. Mexico refuses to recognize this republic and disputes its vast territorial claims to the Rio Grande River.. In 1845, Texas votes in favour of being annexed by the United States, greatly increasing tensions. In 1846, United States President James Polk sends an army under Zachary Taylor to invade northeastern Mexico. Taylor makes rapid progress, causing Santa Anna to return to lead the Mexican army. In March 1847, a second American army under Winfield Scott lands at Veracruz with the Mexican capital as his objective. Scott loses nearly one-third of his force in August, mostly from disease, before a short armistice comes into effect between the two sides. Scott then resumes the offensive against Santa Anna’s forces in front of Mexico City.. “Comparing the air of cities to the air of deserts and arid lands is like comparing waters that are befouled and turbid to waters that are fine and pure. In the city, because of the height of its buildings, the narrowness of its streets, and all that pours forth from its inhabitants and their superfluities…the air becomes stagnant, turbid, thick, misty, and foggy…If there is no choice in this matter, for we have grown up in the cities and have become accustomed to them, you should…select from the cities one of open horizons…endeavor at least to dwell at the outskirts of the city…”.
