REPORT: The Mexican-American War lasted from 1846 to 1848 and led to the United States adding territory that would later become Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The war also helped Taylor become president in 1849 – he died suddenly in office of a stomach-related illness a year later – and was a training ground for many of the military leaders during the Civil War a decade later, including Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
