"the grand old man of the army"
taylor won several victories against the mexican army, but polk eventually came to the conclusion that merely occupying northern mexico would not compel mexico to surrender. scott drew up an invasion plan that would begin with a naval assault on the gulf port of veracruz and end with the capture of mexico city. with congress unwilling to establish the rank of lieutenant general for democratic senator thomas hart benton, polk reluctantly turned to scott to command the invasion. among those who joined the campaign were several officers who would later distinguish themselves in the american civil war, including major joseph e. johnston, captain robert e. lee, and lieutenants ulysses s. grant, george b. mcclellan, george g. meade, and p. g. t. beauregard. while scott prepared the invasion, taylor inflicted a crushing defeat on the army of mexican president antonio lópez de santa anna at the battle of buena vista. santa anna returned to mexico city, put down a minor insurrection, and recruited a new army.
