Some people feel that America should give back some if all of the land America gained by winning the Mexican-American War. I think that that is a totally ridiculous idea. First of all, we’ve had that land for around 200 years, why just give it back now? I’m pretty sure Mexico doesn’t care that we still have it. If they did, they probably would have started a war to gain it back along time ago. It’s just a horrible idea.

If we gave the Mexicans back that land we would most likely start another civil war. All the people in the states that were being given back would get angry and most likely revolt, and cause a war. It would not be just the people in those states fighting back; it would most likely be everyone in the United Sates fighting back. We also have most of our soldiers out in the Middle East, so there would not be enough to fight back against everyone. Also if the soldiers opposed it they would probably decide not to fight.

See that is the thing, I would think that probably 99.9% of Americans would oppose this idea. If they would support this idea, I would call them un-American, or commies. The only people who I can see supporting this would be the hippies. They are all about ant-war and all that peace and spiritual stuff. They probably want the entire world to be one big country.

If we gave back this land, we would lose California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and part of Colorado and New Mexico. I don’t think people would take too kindly to losing the Lakers, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon, or really any of those states. It is just such a terrible idea and I don’t think many people would support it.
