Summary: "How We Robbed Mexico in 1848" by Robert H. Howe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the complex and troubling legacy of the Mexican-American War, highlighting the injustices and motivations behind the U.S. invasion of Mexico. Howe critiques the roles of political greed and the expansionist ideologies that led to the substantial territorial gains for the United States at the expense of Mexico. In this compelling narrative, Howe delves into the political climate preceding the war, detailing the intricate connections between southern slave-owning interests and the subsequent annexation of Mexican territories such as Texas, California, and parts of the Southwest. He discusses how the American government manipulated tensions with Mexico to justify military action and gain land, presenting evidence from historical memoirs, documents, and media of the time. The book not only casts a critical eye on America's imperialist actions in the 19th century but also draws parallels to contemporary interventions, warning against the consistent pattern of exploiting weaker nations under the guise of political or economic necessity.
