| dc.description.abstract | During the Mexican War, Americans radically transformed their ideas about Mexicans
and Mexican-Americans. The Mexican War offered itself up as the first of such interactions
between the neighboring republics. The Mexican during the War was met largely with criticism
from the American public, a criticism aided by the work of the press. While a vast majority of
the presses disparaged the Mexican populace on a variety of subjects, not all papers denigrated
the Mexicans as some inferior population in need of assistance from the United States in order to
survive and reach a proper level of civilization. Papers such as the Catholic and abolitionist
presses sought to portray the Mexican in a more positive light. Analysis of these spheres of
influence of the various presses offers up a genesis of the Mexican within the American
imagination. | en_US |
