Heres something to think about while youre (responsibly) celebrating Cinco de Mayo: If you didnt think that the observance really has much significance, many historians believe that if the French Army had defeated the Mexican forces at The Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, the French would have gone on to support the Confederacy in the United States Civil War. In effect, through this single event, the Mexicans helped preserve the United States. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
