Note that when moving the point P, the inscribed angle is constant while it is in the major arc formed by A,B. Given two points A and B, lines from them to a third point P form the inscribed angle â  APB. As you drag the point P above, notice that the inscribed angle is constant.
The Mexican War. The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico began with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas on Apr. 25, 1846. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed (Feb. 2, 1848) at Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Prior to the Mexican-American War, what is now Texas was the northernmost province of Mexico. Texas and other northern territories of Mexico were visited by mountain men from the U.S. and tradesmen who traversed the Santa Fe Trail.
