During the Mexican-American War, President James K. Polk ordered General Winfield Scott  (1786-1866) to command an army to take the south of Mexico by sea. The order was to capture the port of Veracruz and marched to Mexico City. On March 1847, they marched to Veracruz and in twenty days of armed confrontation, the Mexican Army surrendered and marched to Mexico City where they captured the Chapultepec Castle.
