Of course the scheming two-faced anglos took some casualties in the course of their thieveries, México was sparsely populated in those days but there were a few to defend her ... among them los Niños Heroes - arts-history.mx
.. the San Patricios, murdered in cold blood by the catholic-hating military of the eight hundred pound rabid hispanophobic gorilla to the north - connemara.net
The US stole and now holds mexicano territory by lying and the breaking of sworn word and by force of arms, no point in trying to put a pretty face on it, the US at the time had a hate on for catholics, and wanted to increase its slaveholding territories, they could not do it under the flag of México in which slavery had been illegal since 1821 ... all that Davy Crocket hero rubbish is bullshit - the invaders were no more than thieves looking to take the land of the indigenous so they could work their negros on it, they had given their word to obey the laws and in exchange were granted land south to the Río Nueces, then they 'rebelled' [read, 'broke their word'], and invaded further to the Río Bravo ... no justification whatsoever, beyond greed
When an hundred years after the battle of Chapultepec a US president Harry Truman laid a wreath at the memorial to los Niños Heroes, that brutal war of aggression against the people began to be over for some mejicanos, at least that phase of it ... this was aided by the fact that brutality and prejudice against the hispano in the occupied territories was lessening at that point
Your nation has a shameful record against the indígena, truly shameful ... t'will do it no credit to flaunt its thieveries on GPM ... better perhaps to go forward from here looking for interests common to the two peoples ... just a heads-up ... cháu |
