Answer 2

Answer:

  D. Thomas Jefferson.

Explanation:

 By that time Lincoln was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives along with John Quincy Adams, they both were against the Mexican-American War and spoke out in the Congress.

  Henry David Thoreau went even further and refuse to pay poll taxes to support the war and spent a night in jail. After that, he wrote an essay about it called Civil Disobedience.

  Thomas Jefferson was the only of the options given who did not criticize the war with Mexico. In fact, he supported an amendment proposal introduced by Jefferson Davis to give most of northeastern Mexico to the U.S., but the proposal failed 44-11.
