Nacimiento Massacre May 18, 1873

Unable to get Mexico to end the Anishinabek and their Indian and black allies, constant raids into Texas, the United States was forced to illegally enter Mexico to attempt to stop the constant raids the Anishinabek and their Indian and black allies, were inflicting on Texans. Several hundred American soldiers, including their black allies (they once were allied with Indians and are known historically as Buffalo soldiers and black Seminole's), invaded Mexico in May of 1873, then found their targets. In the massacre that followed, 19 Anishinabek and their Indian and black allies were killed, while another 40 were taken hostage by the invading Americans. A total of 415 white and black soldiers participated in the massacre. At least 14 were civilians. And, of course, they attacked the village when the Indian and black soldiers were away hunting. They planned on attacking three villages which were located in close proximity to each other but the Indians and blacks in the other two villages heard the whites and blacks attack the first village and fled. After the massacre the raids dwindled down, but continued but eventually stopped by the 1880s. However, the Anishinabe people of northern Mexico had multiplied by 1900, and in fact, they numbered in the millions by then. That was not acceptable to the whites who wanted to exterminate them. The whites initiated the 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution to exterminate the Anishinabek and their Indian and black allies. It just led to the Anishinabe people and their Indian and black allies, initiating the 1926-1929 Cristeros War, in order to force their way down to southern Mexican and Guatamala, from northern Mexico.
