What was the response of Mexican leaders in 1846 to President Polk's statement that Mexico had "shed American blood on American soil"? Question 4 options:

This was untrue because Polk made the statement before hostilities had begun

This blood had only been shed after the U. S. had first launched a naval bombardment of the Mexican port of Veracruz

The battle in question took place on Mexican soil south of the Nueces River

This was hardly the case because American troops had crossed the Rio Grande to attack Mexican forces

explanation:

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
