    Pulled all US forces out of the southern portion of Texas to avoid conflict with the Mexican Army.

    Answer: Option D

    Explanation:

    United States had an urge to extend its territory beyond the Mississippi river. Hence U. S sent an envoy to Mexico. When in the year John Slidell was sent to Mexico to purchase California for twenty five million dollars Mexico showed hesitance.
