    Was it the Mayans or Aztecs who rose up against the Spaniards, or was it both?

    True, very true.

    <B>I digress</B>, let us not hijack this celebratory thread any longer with serious conversation. It is not my intention to argue, only to understand. I'm gettin' some Dos Equis tonight. [​IMG]

    according to him, it was "we the mestizos" that rose up against the oppressive caucasians. Mestizos being defined in my sources as "a person of mixed race esp. the offspring of Spaniards and 'American Indians.'

    If they were half spaniards, why were they revolting? If it was just because the "Caucasian" government was oppressive, then why include the (somewhat misleading) racial nomenclature, why not just say "oppressive govt?"

    I'm not looking to usurp the thread, but really now...
