January 12, 1864: A Civil War In Mexico



JANUARY 12, 1864:            

A rebellion has been brewing for some time South of the (Southern) Border, as Mexican patriots have been conducting their own insurgency against Emperor Maximilian’s French-supported puppet empire. Union troops intercede in Matamoros when the home of the U.S. Consul in that city is attacked by the Mexican rebels. The Union troops ensure that the consular staff evacuates Matamoros safely and reaches the Union-controlled enclave on the border.
