From the portfolio, 450 Years of Struggle: Tribute to the Mexican People / 450 Años De Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano. Not without reason, the figure of Antonio López de Santa Anna—eleven times President during the first stage of independent Mexico—is considered one of the most abominable in our history. He was, in his long military and political career, a realist, a supporter of independence, a monarchist, a republican. He was the typical caudillo of those late times. He ruled according to the reaction. He protected militarism and clericalism and culminated his disastrous performance in the war with the United States of America, in which Mexico lost half of its original territory.artist/creator Mora, Franciscosubject Borderlands Frontera Taller de Gráfica Popular (Mexico City, Mexico) (TGP) TGP Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Santa Anna, Antonio López de, 1794-1876 Linocuts Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

From the portfolio, 450 Years of Struggle: Tribute to the Mexican People / 450 Años De Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano. The war unleashed by the United States against Mexico in the middle of the previous century, culminated with a sale and purchase operation. Santa Anna agreed to sell a large part of the national territory to the Americans. These were used, for their conquest, weapons, and, perhaps, bribery. From that ignominious chapter in our history, only the patriots were saved who, like Generals Pedro María Anaya and Nicolás Bravo, defended the country with bizarreness, although they were defeated and betrayed.artist/creator Bracho, Ángelsubject Borderlands Frontera Nations Sales Taller de Gráfica Popular (Mexico City, Mexico) (TGP) TGP Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Linocuts Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Los Niños Héroes
title Los Niños Héroesdescription Linocut on paper, 11.5 in. x 8 in. Taller de Gráfica Popular, Mexico City, MX. From the portfolio, 450 Years of Struggle: Tribute to the Mexican People / 450 Años De Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano. Barely a quarter of a century had passed since the consummation of Independence, when Mexico was militarily attacked by the United States of America. The United States armies entered the capital of the Republic and only withdrew when, through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States annexed half of the Mexican territory to their country. Glorious incarnation of the resistance of our people were the cadets of the Military College who fought recklessly in the Castle of Chapultepec against an enemy far superior in number and weapons, and fell, on September 13,1847, bequeathing to the new generations an example of virile patriotism.artist/creator Mora, Franciscosubject Borderlands Frontera Taller de Gráfica Popular (Mexico City, Mexico) (TGP) TGP Linocuts Prints Children Heroes Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM)
