A view of an event

Annals of American History includes the full text of primary documents in American history, including historical accounts, speeches, memoirs, poems, editorials, landmark court decisions, and cultural criticism.

This being my Frederick Douglass day, I looked him up in Annals of American History and found two articles that he wrote. The title of the first article, "An African American View of the Mexican War", leads one to believe that there is a racial side to the discussion. "The treaty was opposed in America both by those who wanted more territory from Mexico than the treaty secured and by those who wanted no territory at all." After reading his editorial, I wondered why in the world did the editors title this as an African American view?

I searched for Mexican War in Annals of American History to see what other sources might be included. Not one title mentioned the race of the author. Fascinating. What are the editors saying?
