Comparing cinco de mayo and relating it to Fourth of July and independence is a common misconception.

Mexico did not become independent from the French during the war. France had a debt to pay back to Mexico of sorts.

Here is it in detail.

Thanks. I really don't know much about it.

Here's all I knew: the Mexicans won a battle against the French on May 5.
Mexicans don't speak French, so I assumed they kicked butt that day.

Maybe YOU should 'read'. You blasted me for asking why Mexicans should not celebrate May 5. You mis-read my post, obviously.

Also, I have the right to what???

To address the topic; I could not care less what Tramp does. Right now he's in my state and I feel dirty.

Yeah, I figured he'd just re-tweet the taco bowl picture.

BS


Cinco de Mayo is an optional national holiday in Mexico,students have the day off from school, but whether banks and government offices close will vary from state to state. Celebrations in Puebla, where the legendary battle took place, outshine those held elsewhere in Mexico. In Puebla the event is commemorated with parades and a battle reenactment.
