RE: Guadalajara, Mexico Then And Now - A Tour Through The Historic Center
Thank you for the clarification. Our tour guide wanted us to do the majority of the talking, so we were trying to relay accurate information. We're not knowledgeable about the history, but we probably could have phrased that part a little better. Thanks for watching!
No problem. Thanks to you for the vid! #History matters a lot to me; probably a lot less to other people, but still, for the likes of me, the clarification is important. We've lived deceived for ages thinking all sorts of things about our #European forefathers, when in fact, they were not as looked down upon as we've been led to believe. For instance, the great "liberator" of #SouthAmerica, #SimonBolivar, started his "revolution" to amass power and take it from Spain-borne #Spanish (he was a colony-borne Spanish, a #creole or "mantuano"). He also did not come up with the first Republics in #Hispanic spheres; the #FirstSpanishRepublic won the race there. Above all, he did not mean to revolt against the Spanish (at least not at first), but against the #French, as I already stated. So yeah, a bit of "Plus Ultra" from me. :D Thanks for reading.
