Should be a holiday for all Americans!
Benito Juarez who had forced out the dictator Santa Anna, proclaiming that "Adversity discourages none but contemptible peoples" when the French depose him.
Brilliant 32yo Texas-born General Zaragoza, forged in youth in the battle for the Texas Republic, leading a bunch of farmers and Natives armed with pitchforks and clubs against the worlds greatest army, who then dies of typhus.
The French were there to take the US South and all that cotton.
