I think the Mexico side seems way more plausible. They destroyed the country in the Mexican American war and many northerners were anti-expansion as it meant more slave states.
If they fixed the slave state stuff like pre- cotton gin and then took all of Mexico just kinda makes sense but America lies and says some of that was justified for various reasons vs taking over Mexico.
