Question

All of the following were effects of the U.S. Mexican War EXCEPT

a
created friction between the U.S. and Spain
b
hurt relations with Mexico and Latin America
c
provided experience for young officers for the upcoming Civil War
d
created an issue about whether the new territory would be free or slave

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a) created friction between the U.S. and Spain

This option is not considered an effect of the U.S.-Mexican War. The war primarily affected U.S.-Mexico relations and the internal dynamics of the U.S. regarding slavery and territorial expansion, rather than relating significantly to Spain.
