In 1846, President Polk declared war on Mexico stating, "Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon America's soil." Abraham Lincoln, a Senator at the time, questioned whether the "spot" where blood had been shed was actually on US soil.
