He declared war because he thought he had a reason to start it

Explanation:

After the annexation of the state of Texas, Polk turned his attention to California, hoping to buy the territory from Mexico before any other European state. Polk insisted that Mexico began the war by “shedding American blood on American soil.”In 1848 the war was concluded by the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The agreement forced the Mexican government to agree to give the U.S. the territory from Alta California and Santa Fe to Nuevo Mexico. This has added 525,000 square miles to U.S. territory, including land that makes up all or parts of present-day Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The United States paid $ 15 million in compensation and canceled $ 3.5 million in debt. Mexico acknowledges the loss of Texas and has accepted the Rio Grande as its northern border. The largest territorial expansion of the United States took place through Polk's annexation of Texas in 1845, the negotiation of the Oregon Treaty with Great Britain in 1846, and the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. The war was viewed as a victory in the United States, but was criticized for its human casualties, monetary costs and heavy hands.

especially research the treaty of greenville and the treaty of colerain in washington's administration. also research at least one significant treaty from the administrations of adams, jefferson, and madison. tell the outcome of each treaty and how it did or did not in the further development of the west.

treaty of greenville (1814) the treaty of greenville (1814) was called a treaty of peace and friendship between the united states of america and the tribes of native americans called the wyandots, delawares, shawanoese, senacas and miamies.

the treaty of colerain was signed at st. marys, georgia in camden county, georgia, by benjamin hawkins, george clymer, and andrew pickens for the united states and representatives of the creek nation, for whom indian trader langley bryant served as an interpreter, on june 29, 1796, proclaimed on march 18, 1797, and codified as 7 stat. 56. colerain was a small community and the site of a u.s. indian factory founded by james seagrove.

this treaty affirmed the binding of the treaty of new york (1790). the treaties of hopewell and the treaty of holston (1791) established boundary lines between the choctaws, chickasaws, cherokee, and the u.s. the treaty of colerain bound the creek nation to acknowledge the boundaries established in those treaties.

it also established the boundary line between the creek nation and the united states. at the time of this treaty, the boundaries between spanish florida and the u.s. had not yet been established. this treaty formally allowed the creek chiefs to acknowledge the negotiation for delineating the georgia-florida boundary with spain.

the treaty contained a provision that the president of the u.s. may establish a trading or military outpost.

the united states demanded that the creeks give up their american prisoners and also return all "citizens, white inhabitants, negroes and property" taken by the creeks.

the treaty describes when it would take effect. after the treaty had been signed but not yet promulgated, the u.s. senate requested modification of two articles of the treaty. the first modification stipulated that the military or trading posts would be under the control of the united states. the second modification stipulated that if the u.s. no longer required the use of those posts, the locations would revert to the creek people.
