August 1845 CE

President Herrera’s request for a plenipotentiary to Mexico is finally answered in early December by the appearance of John Slidell, whom Polk has authorized to purchase New Mexico and California from Mexico and to settle the disputed Texas boundary.

Herrera, fearful for the safety of his coalition government in highly politicized climate, refuses to meet with him.

Paredes issues a revolutionary manifesto on December 14.
