Talk:History of North America (Viva California)

A few suggestions:

Texan nationalists *here* wanted to expand westward to the ocean. It seems likely that the same desire would exist *there*. Perhaps the Republic of Texas should expand further west.

Also, *here*, the War started due to America's annexation of Texas. While I suspect that a war would've been inevitable at some point, perhaps *there* it should've happened later. Maybe after the discovery of gold in California. I'm not sure what the ostensible reason might've been (since the US couldn't openly go to war over gold) ... alleged mistreatment of American prospectors?

Also, your map is too small, I can't read any of the state names. :-( What is *here*'s British Columbia called?  I would suggest Vancouver, if that's not already the name.
