We will give you 15 million dollars for the whole Louisiana.
Mexico Citizens Unhappy
Our King is to far away and we are not treated fairly!!!
Father Miguel Hidalgo
We need to leave this place. WE NEED TO FIGHT F0R OUR RIGHTS!
This was the Louisiana Purchase. This is when the French decided to sell Louisiana to the United States for 15 million dollars. This also started some conflict between the U.S and Spain.
Filibusters
Since Spain treated Mexican citizens and other very unfairly, their happiness was very low. Also, their king was too far away to support their needs.
Battle of Medina
We will beat you and wipe you off the face of the earth!!!!!
Father Miguel Hidalgo was a priest that saved many Mexican and Native American citizens. He made sure to lead them out of Spain. This was going well until one of his soldiers betrayed him and reported him to Spanish soldiers. They then shot him, though many people were able to escape to the U.S.
Constitution of 1824
We are finally free!!
Filibusters are people that engage or start illegal warfare. I think that they are like rebels or fugitives, maybe even the rebellion.
I think this is a good horse for trading.
The Battle of Medina was a war between the Spanish and the Republican Army. The Republican Army were filibusters and beat Spain in a previous battle. But in the Battle of Medina, the Spanish killed all the people that were in the Republican Army and the people that were involved. They were all wiped from Spain
Because Spain had full control over Mexico, Mexicans decided to make a constitution and turn Mexico into a republican country. After this, they were able to take back control over Mexico and change the rules. Instead of everything being a dictatorship, it was fairer and ad presidents like knthe U.S do now.
