The story of the USNA begins in 1849 when US Congress approved the annexation of All of Mexico. Mexico was than split into the Three Territories of North Mexico, South Mexico and Yucatan. In 1851 Mexico City was renamed Polksburgh by President Lewis Cass. In 1856 North Mexico was admitted to the Union, under President Franklin Pierce. Pierce in his second term sent Troops into Honduras after a squabble with the British Empire. Honduras is kept as a Territory.
 
But how does the All of Mexico movement grow from a petty wail to a major force? It never had much popular support and none at all in the halls of power.
 
Besides, this would mean that Californa and New Mexico would be in North Mexico. Yucatan would be ridiculously small in comparison. The North would never allow it, nor would the Mexicans. Besides, too much desert.

I think you'd have an uprising by the Mexicans over the renaming of their capital city alone... why would they use a germanized version of a city name? At the least I'd think Polkopolis to carry on the classical Greek tradition of the Anglo-Americans... more culturally sensitive might be Ciudad de Polk or Villas de Polk

I agree. Can see prolonged bitter resistance to such an annexation. The fact this is so far from the US centres of population and resources as well would make it very difficult to sustain. Not to mention the unrest at the much larger army needed for the task, quite possibly involving conscription. Or what the various European powers with trade interests in Mexico might say.

If the US picked a fight with Britain under those circumstances I could see things coming apart very, very quickly. Mexico would definitely be lost and I could see a hell of a lot of internal dissent about such a disaster.

And once again the North Mexico bit. That is a lot of territory. It would make more sense to keep the current US States they way they are and make the individual Mexican states into territories.

How does Cass beat Taylor?

What caused the squabble with the British? What about Canada?
