During the 1840s, the United States gains more than a million square miles of new territory, the greatest wave of expansion since the Louisiana purchase. Much of the land is annexed in a struggle between the U..S. and its neighbor to the south-Mexico. "Manifest destiny," some would say; others disagree. Mexico had made an effort to colonize the area known as Texas in the early 1820s, with so little success that they allowed Stephen Austin and others to settle the area. As their numbers grow tensions between the settlers and the Mexican government flare, finally exploding in 1835 when the settlers proclaim independence from Mexico. Santa Ana and a large contingent of poorly-trained Mexican troops fail to put down the uprising.
