Can the mexican-american war be blamed for helping to cause the civil war?

It can. The mexican-american war also dealt with the future of the territories that were involved like the Texas territory. Since the United States won the territories from Mexico, the new colonies wanted to be slave colonies, and the general government disliked this. There would've been fewer slave colonies if they hadn't been conquered.
