What Led to the Mexican American War with Dr. Stephen Hardin

Dr. Stephen Hardin, professor at McMurray University in Abilene and author of numerous books on Texas history, joins The Sons of History to discuss the importance of the Mexican-American War.  What led to the Mexican-American War? What role did President James K. Polk play? Where was Santa Anna? And what about that border river? All this and more in Part 1 of the two-part discussion on the neighbor war. Also, we recommend you listen to our first ever discussion with Dr. Hardin a few months ago on the Texas Revolution, which was the start to the ongoing hostilities between the Mexicans and the Texians - and eventually the Americans.
