Many African-Americans fought for the Union during the Civil War, though at first they were not allowed to become soldiers. Once they became soldiers, they could only have White officers. They fought bravely. Here are some clips from a movie called "Glory," which was about a group of famous African-American soliders who fought in the war: Many of the soldiers in this group died in the war.

I remember that my family said they lived a few years of fear and terror, but the war led to the liberation of the peasants and that it caused the implementation of curfews amongs the people.

The war arose from the widespred civil disorder that plagued the early years of the Mexican republic.
In 1838 a french pastry cook, Monsieur remondel, claimed that his shop in the tacubaya district of mexico city had been ruined by looting Mexican officers in 1828.
karen sagrero
My family told me that they remember the pastry war in april 16 1838 and march 9 1839. The war was between french and mexico, the war was fought because the french citizenz where living in mexico during a prolonged period of strife and their goverment refused any sort of reperations but it also had to do with the longstanding mexican debt.
