Well, we were our own country for nearly 10 years, having fought for
independence from Mexico... After another 15 years, we realized that
we had made a mistake and left the union... After 4 years of fighting,
the US installed a repressive puppet government, of which we are still
afflicted by today... There are some who still work today to regain
independence...
