The drama llama is in la casa

[caramida]

On 3 July 1832, as relations between the province of Texas and Ciudad Mexico continued to falter, General Manuel Mier y Terán, architect of Mexico´s frontier policies, donned his full-dress uniform rode to the grave of Mexico´s first emperor, Augusín de Iturbide, and threw himself on his sword.

In the last letter he wrote, are the words "What wil become of Texas, only God ¹ nows knows."

You can't make this shit up. Gods, I need to write this into a game somehow.

Edited to Add: ¹ Hey, I was in a rush to get out the door.

Wow, you'd think such an awesome dude would have spelled "knows" right.

And for that, you get a big fat raspberry.

My favorite is from some dictator of Mexico, "So far from God, so close to the United States."

Brilliant.
