Did you know the honoring of Cinco de Mayo began in the U.S. by Mexicans in California who wanted to express ownership to their mother country? In 1863 a Mexican business person initiated a Cinco de Mayo dance and this idea traveled around with the performance of private Mexican and Spanish dances. The honoring contained speeches about the significance of the day and parades primarily in the Mexican communities, as well as custom foods that later became regular Cinco de Mayo recipes. Cinco de Mayo represents “the right of the people to self-determination and national sovereignty, and the ability of non-Europeans to defend those rights against modern military organizations."
As white colonists began to spread their influence across the continent, it was inevitable that they would run into the expanding Spanish empire to the south. The first major conflict was in Texas. The United States won the battle, and as a result, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. In it, Mexico ceded much of its territory in the Southwest to the United States.

Some scholars have suggested the Comanche broke away from the Shoshone and moved southward to search for additional sources of horses among the settlers of New Spain to the south (rather than search for new herds of buffalo.) The Comanche may have been the first group of Plains natives to fully incorporate the horse into their culture and to have introduced the animal to the other Plains peoples. [14] By the mid-19th century, the Comanche were supplying horses to French and American traders and settlers and later to migrants passing through their territory on the way to the California Gold Rush. The Comanche had stolen many of the horses from other tribes and settlers; they earned their reputation as formidable horse, and later, cattle thieves. Their stealing of livestock from Spanish and American settlers, as well as the other Plains tribes, often led to war.
