Polk's War message begins by talking about how the United States has tried to negotiate with Mexico, but Mexico has refused to cooperate. Next, Polk goes on to give the details of this fact. Afterwards, Polk goes on to talk about how Mexico not only wouldn't agree to negotiate, but had no sufficient reason as to why they refused. This is followed by Polk talking about how he ordered for American troops to go to Mexico, but not to aggravate the Mexicans, but that a small group of American soldiers were attacked by a group of Mexicans. Polk then concludes by saying that America should declare war against Mexico because of all the problems it has caused for America.
