Answer:

the Rio Grande

Step-by-step explanation:

The Republic of Texas claimed land up to the Rio Grande, based on the Treaties of Velasco. However, Mexico refused to accept these as valid, claiming the border was the Nueces River. U.S. President James Polk endorsed the Rio Grande boundary, which incited a dispute with Mexico.
