	The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, Part 1
		By January 1846, the general had built a fort in what was Mexican, or at least disputed, territory on the northern banks of the Rio Grande in an effort to put pressure on the Mexicans to agree to a settlement.
		Their aid was critical because the Mexicans had poor cannon with a range of 400 meters less than the Americans.
		In almost every Mexican account of the war, the San Patricios are considered heroes who fought for the noble ideals of religion and a just cause against a Protestant invader of a peaceful nation.

	Coat of Arms of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Coat of Arms of Mexico was inspired in the Aztec tradition of the founding of Tenochtitlan.
		According to popular legend, the Aztec people, then a nomadic tribe, were wandering in Mexico in search of a sign that their god Huitzilopochtli had commanded them to find an eagle perched atop a cactus, devouring a snake.
		The coat of arms of Independent Mexico which was adopted in 1821, depicts a golden eagle, called in Spanish águila real, eating a snake that it is holding in its claw and an imperial crown.
