(O.V.I.)
, in the

, there
is
a
shield
with a
side-wheel
steamboat
bearing
the
text
"
Rio
Grande
" a
rising
sun
, a
plow
, and a
river
. The
annexation
of
Texas
,
American
desire
to
annex
New
Mexico
and
California
, and
Southern
politicians
'
hopes
of
expanding
slavery
all
contributed
to the
Mexican
War
.
Among
Ohio
Whigs
in
Congress
,
opposition
to the
war
and the
extension
of
slavery
was
strong
. In the
end
,
however
,
7,000
Ohioans
enlisted
in the
war
.
Many
of them
served
under
Zachary
Taylor
in the
northern
provinces
of
Mexico
and
under
Winfield
Scott
in
Mexico
City
. The
Mexican
War
ended
on
February
2
,
1848
with the
signing
of the
Treaty
of
Guadalupe
Hidalgo
,
which
set
the
southern
boundary
of
Texas
and
gave
the
United
States
control
of
New
Mexico
and
California
.
Ohio
battle
flags
were on
display
at the
Ohio
Statehouse
until
the
1960s
,
when
the
state
formed
a
committee
to
oversee
efforts
to
restore
the
fragile
flags
.
Some
of the
battle
flags
were on
display
on the
plaza
level
of the
Ohio
Historical
Center
from
1970
until
1989
. For
conservation
reasons
, the
flags
have been in
storage
since
1989
. In the
1960s
, the
collection
was
photographed
and
commercial
artist
Robert
Needham
painted
illustrations
of
many
Civil
War
flags
.
