Introduction
- Uncovering the past is what
history is all about. Finding out what really happened, or what was it
really like is going to be our quest. Like in many other countries, the
history of Mexico tends to be romanticized. We read, and learn the bias
historical views. We learn about the great things that happened, and overlook
the terrible things that happened because of the unpleasant realities
that occurred. In this quest we are going to try to uncover the
realities of the past in Mexico. What really happened or what was it
really like is what we are going to try to find out.
