Grant roundly condemned the Mexican War in which he had served, and even saw the Civil War as a sort of karmic retribution for America's sins against its southern neighbor 'Generally the officers of the army were indifferent whether the annexation of Texas was consummated or not but not so all of them.

It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory.'
