Problem: How do Governments views and philosophies affect the progression of the war? Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott represent the archetypes of military officers. If you served in the military, you probably worked for a commander that fell into one of these two categories: Taylor led by a "cult of personality," an inspirational leader who took great risks to achieve victory. Scott represented more of the "military manager" model, an officer who understood the tools at his disposal, makes deliberate decisions, and weighs the consequences. An argument can be made that very few military commanders possess characteristics of both Taylor and Scott. Answer the following questions: Briefly define the concept of Manifest Destiny and how it influenced the Mexican American War. What kind of leader is Taylor? What kind of leader is Scott? Why is Taylor/Scott successful? Which one would you prefer to work for? Which type of leader would you want to become: Taylor or Scott? What influences did the Mexican American War have on future Civil War leaders and tactics?
