Answer:

Those who supported the president shared Polk’s belief that the United States should extend from sea to sea — from the Atlantic to the Pacific. What was the boundary between the US and Mexico? The United States felt it was the Rio Grande river as agreed to by Mexico in 1836 when Texas won its independence.
