General obligation bonds are a type of municipal government bond, which is government debt issued to raise money to finance public improvements. A general obligation bond is a municipal bond backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction, rather than the revenue from a given project.
The Mexican-American War began because of a clash between the Mexican Army and the US Army in the disputed border area called the Neuces Strip (See the Thornton Affair-see Related Link shown below).
Why Did The Mexican War Start. When Mexico became independent in 1821, a large number of Americans living closer to the borders started migrating towards Texas which was a part of Mexico before the beginning of the Mexican American War.
