Abstract:

The United States Army has transformed many times in its history. Each transformation has helped to improve and insure the supremacy of the Army. This study will explore how the United States Army transformed during the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. These two wars were responsible for obtaining new land as well as securing the freedom of African American slaves. The decisive ability of the Army to transform and meet the challenges of war, helped to expand and unite the United States of America.
