The book focuses on the complex relationships and conflicts between the United States and Mexico during a pivotal period marked by territorial expansion in America, specifically surrounding the annexation of Texas and the resulting war. Gallatin elucidates the principles of justice and morality that should guide the negotiations for peace, while examining the legal and moral implications of the conflict. In "Peace with Mexico," Gallatin reflects on the events leading up to the war, arguing that the annexation of Texas was an act of aggression that provoked a legitimate response from Mexico. He contends that while the United States emerged victorious in military engagements, the moral high ground should lead to a peaceful resolution that respects the rights of Mexico and its citizens. By advocating for justice and rational dialogue over conquest, Gallatin urges the American government to negotiate terms of peace that do not exploit victory but instead restore relations and honor mutual sovereignty, focusing on reparations for American citizens rather than territorial expansion.
