1.) "Manifest Destiny" was the belief that it was the destiny of the United States to expand its territory from coast to coast. This belief led to the Mexican American War because the U.S. wanted to acquire Mexican territories such as Texas, New Mexico, and California. The evidence from the text states, "The United States annexed Texas in 1845, and then went to war with Mexico to acquire California and New Mexico." This shows how the belief in Manifest Destiny led to the war.
2.) Tijuana developed rapidly in the 1920s and 1930s due to Prohibition in the United States. Many Americans crossed the border to enjoy alcohol and entertainment in Tijuana. The evidence from the text states, "Prohibition in the United States, from 1920 to 1933, turned Tijuana into a booming city." In the 1960s and 1970s, Tijuana experienced further growth due to factors such as industrialization and the growth of the maquiladora industry. The evidence from the text states, "The maquiladora industry, which began in earnest in the 1960s and 1970s, brought rapid population growth."
3.) The population growth in Tijuana put a strain on its septic system. As more people moved to the city, the septic system became overwhelmed and unable to handle the increased waste. This led to sewage flowing into the Tijuana River, which then flowed into the United States. The evidence from the text states, "The population growth in Tijuana overwhelmed the septic systems, leading to raw sewage flowing into the Tijuana River, which then flowed into the United States." This affected Americans by causing pollution and health hazards in the border region.
4.) "Southbound capital flows and northbound sewage flows are two parts of the same story" because they are interconnected. The economic development and growth in Tijuana attracted investments and capital from the United States and other countries, leading to southbound capital flows. However, the rapid population growth and inadequate infrastructure, including the septic system, resulted in northbound sewage flows into the United States. The evidence from the text states, "Tijuana’s rapid growth has been fueled by southbound capital flows, while the northbound sewage flows are a byproduct of this growth." This shows how the economic and environmental aspects are intertwined in this story.
