“The United States never remembers, and Mexico never forgets,”
is an oft-quoted maxim about the relationship between the North
American neighbors. And there is no chapter in the history of
those two nations that it better describes than the
Mexican–American War (known as the invasión estadounidense south
of the border). In this workshop, we will take an in-depth look
at a conflict that is often glossed over in U.S. history courses
in spite of the fact that it sharpened sectional divisions in
the antebellum United States and cost Mexico half its territory.
Speakers include UC Berkeley history professors Alex Saragoza
and Brian DeLay. The institute is free and open to all
educators. Registration forms are available online or by calling
