What are the two major causes of the mexican-American war?

Here are some quotes by General and United States President U.S. Grant about his views on the Mexican-American War:

"Generally, the officers of the army were indifferent whether the annexation was consummated or not; but not so all of them. For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory."

"I had very strong opinions on the subject. I do not think there was ever a more wicked war than that waged by the United States on Mexico. I had a horror of the Mexican War, and I have always believed that it was on our part most unjust. The wickedness was not in the way our soldiers conducted it, but in the conduct of our government in declaring war. We had no claim on Mexico. Texas had no claim beyond the Nueces River, and yet we pushed on to the Rio Grande and crossed it. I am always ashamed of my country when I think of that invasion"

Pretty much it was a land grab by the United States. We did steal Texas from Mexico earlier and they were pissed. Can't say I blame them. Another critic of the war was a young congressman from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln who wanted to cut off funding for the war.
