Description

The book ""Speech Of G. P. Marsh Of Vermont: On The Mexican War, Delivered In The House Of Representatives Of The United States, February 10, 1848 (1848)"" is a historical document that contains the transcript of a speech given by George Perkins Marsh, a Vermont politician, in the House of Representatives of the United States on February 10, 1848. The speech is focused on the Mexican-American War, which took place from 1846 to 1848, and Marsh's opposition to it. In his speech, Marsh argues that the war was unjustified and unnecessary, and that the United States should not be expanding its territory through military conquest. He also criticizes the actions of President James K. Polk, who he believes manipulated the situation to provoke war with Mexico. The book provides insight into the political climate of the mid-19th century and the debates surrounding the Mexican-American War. It is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in American history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
