growth."

• Known as "The Father of Texas," Stephen F. Austin established the first Anglo-American colony in the Tejas province of Mexico and saw it grow into an independent republic.
• His father, Moses Austin, received approval to settle 300 American families on 200,000 acres; he died before he could accomplish this, but his son, Stephen, did it for him.

Davy Crockett
With his death at the Alamo, a
willing sacrifice to Texas’ freedom, Crockett became a mythic figure
Crockett is the quintessential frontiersman, the inspiration for the American image of the “hunter-hero,” a symbol of the “Age of Common Man,” a martyr for the cause of America's Manifest Destiny and a celebrity of popular culture
"You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas."--David Crockett to former constituents, 1835

Meanwhile…..
-Despite the win, the 13-day holdout stalled the Mexican Army's progress and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later success at the Battle of San Jacinto. -The Texan revolutionaries went on to win the war for their independence.

WHIGS William Henry Harrison
![Page 19: Chapter 17- APUSH Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012913/56649c845503460f9493aa76/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHIGS John Tyler, VP
![Page 20: Chapter 17- APUSH Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012913/56649c845503460f9493aa76/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“His Accidency”Harrison's death left Tyler, the federal government, and the American nation briefly confused on the process of succession. It was not until 1967, that Tyler's action of assuming full powers of the presidency was legally codified in the Twenty-fifth Amendment.
![Page 21: Chapter 17- APUSH Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012913/56649c845503460f9493aa76/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“His Accidency”• Tyler and his cabinet- He quickly found
himself at odds with his former political supporters. Harrison had been expected to adhere closely to Whig Party policies and work closely with Whig leaders, particularly Henry Clay.
• Tyler shocked Congressional Whigs by vetoing virtually the entire Whig agenda, twice vetoing Clay's legislation for a national banking act following the Panic of 1837 and leaving the government deadlocked.
• Tyler was officially expelled from the Whig Party in 1841, a few months after taking office, and became known as "the man without a party." The entire cabinet he had inherited from Harrison resigned in September, aside from Daniel Webster, Secretary of State

“His Accidency”
The Webster-Ashburton Treaty, signed August 9, 1842, settled the dispute over the location of the Maine-New Brunswick border between the United States and Canada, then a colony of Britain.• It also established the details of the border between Lake Superior and the Lake of the Woods, originally defined in the Treaty of Paris (1783)• reaffirmed the location of the border (at the 49th parallel) in the westward frontier up to the Rocky Mountains ( originally defined in the Treaty of 1818)• called for a final end to the slave trade on the high seas, to be enforced by both signatories• agreed on terms for shared use of the Great Lakes.

“His Accidency”• Annexation of Texas• Tyler advocated annexation of Texas to the
Union.
• Whigs opposed this expansion because it would upset the balance between North and South and risked war with Mexico.
• However the Whigs lost the 1844 election to James K. Polk, who favored annexation.
• When the Senate blocked a treaty (which needed a 2/3 vote), Tyler pushed Congress to annex Texas through an adopted joint resolution.
• On March 3, Tyler sent instructions to his representative in Texas, Andrew Jackson Donelson, to announce the annexation. The next day, he left office

The Oregon Controversy
• British claims through fur trade, occupation, and treaties with the U.S.
• American claims through exploration and settlers in the Willamette River Valley
• Joint occupation agreed to in Treaty of 1818
• By 1846, nearly 5,000 Americans had caught “Oregon Fever” and moved into the region south of the Columbia River

Texas (the beast): I fear I cannot carry you into the Presidential Chair.
Polk: Dear Texas, I knew you cannot—I wish I had rode some
other horse but it is too late to repent.

Goals of Polk’s Administration• 1. Lower the tariff
– Walker Tariff of 1846 lowers the rate from 32% to 25%- excellent revenue producer because of increase imports and a revived economy after the Panic of 1837
• 3. Restore the independent treasury- done in 1846 despite opposition from pro-Bank Whigs
![Page 37: Chapter 17- APUSH Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012913/56649c845503460f9493aa76/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Goals of Polk’s Administration
• 2. Resolve the Oregon boundary dispute– Proposes compromise line of 49th
Parallel and gets shot down– The British began to feel the Columbia
River was not the “St. Lawrence” of the West, and proposed the 49th Parallel line themselves in early 1846. The Senate approved the offer.

The Beginning of the Mexican WarThe Beginning of the Mexican War Polk orders Zachary Taylor’s forces to march
from the Nueces to the Rio Grande in January 1846.
When no fighting occurred, Polk informs his cabinet on May 9 that he will ask Congress to declare war based on unpaid claims and Slidell’s rejection
That night, word arrives that two weeks before this, Mexican troops had attacked Taylor’s men, killing or wounding 16.

War Fever in AmericaWar Fever in America
Were Americans responsible for starting the war? At best, we provoked a Mexican response.
Abraham Lincoln, a Whig Congressman from Illinois, introduced the “Spot Resolutions” demanding to know where on American soil that American blood had been spilled
Even the anti-slavery Whigs were forced to join in the war fever sweeping America
