Antonio López de Santa Anna was perhaps the second worst snake of that time, following the slaver representative Poinsett ... a complex individual, capable of greatness, most of which was early on, capable of perfidy and cowardice, most of which came later .... no question he was used by the slavers as pretext for taking the lands of an entire people, no doubt about it
That treaty was signed under duress, when he was captive to the slaver forces .... never was it ratified by the Congreso, and therefore was never valid, never in effect, never binding on la república ... useful only as pretext, and for you to 'discover' it just now, and try to use it as pretext yourself .... ah, this is all so funny, really .... i did not 'miss' that 'treaty', in fact i gave you leads as to where to find it, and where to find much else
Your visceral reaction to learning about this is due to what - insecurity? ... withdrawal pains from some drug? ... not getting enough? .... can't be twinges of conscience, i don't believe you capable of the faculty .... fear, i guess it is, just some gnawing general fear and loathing of skin colour and accent not of your own tribe .... hmmm, well what to do about that, eh |
