when walker gets to central america and becomes the president of nicaragua he becomes a huge national figure so there are a lot of people in america who still have very expansive views of what the united states could become. is not unusual in the 1850s for people to talk about the united states encompassing all of central america, canada and even south america. this is what people think is going to happen. how do we deal with that situation? it is not a coincidence that william walker supports slavery. his idea, to bring african-american slaves into the area, some people -- enslave central americans themselves. a strange and unusual situation but filibustering is very unusual ending u.s./mexico war. and the seeming ease with which the u.s. took half of mexico's territory emboldened expansionists to say to get that much of mexico we can get central america no problem.
