Why Americans should celebrate Cinco De Mayo! besides getting hammered of course

While it's widely accepted that it's their Independence Day, it's not. However considering what happened, Americans everywhere should rejoice. Spain, Britain, and France came ashore in order to collect prior debts. Wisely Spain and Britain struck deals and got out. Those dumbass 'frenchies' had other ideas. Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States(right back atcha a-hole), the French came to stay. They left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy, uh no, France that's just what you do on a regular basis. Colonel Diaz took his cavalry out to the French flanks. In response, the French did a most stupid thing(nothing new); and sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them. The unprotected French infantry was quickly decimated. Why is this important? This huge loss prevented Napoleon III from further supplying the Confederates'; thus allowing the North to amass a huge army. If not for Cinco De Mayo, Napoleon would have his greasy little hands all over the dividing up of our land. Nice try d-bag.... thanks Mexico, and while defeating the French is like pushing a kid out of a wheelchair, still much appreciated brothers to the south.
