The Political Battle Royal

Cinco de Mayo Reality

The attempt to annex Mexico by France during the War Between the States should be part of our active history memory. The crafty and gutsy victory at Puebla might have saved this nation. The ramifications were well understood as the Union Army rushed with weapons, ammunition, and even volunteers to Mexico at the close of the Civil War. General Zaragosa had been born in Texas. American participation to rid Mexico of Maximilian was well recognized.

The Civil War may have started under the pretense of the slavery issue, but it was the bankers' war all along. Don't forget to toast your Mexican neighbors tomorrow.
