A Mexican Family Story - Mexicans in the U.S. Civil War

During the American Civil War, thousands of Mexicans and Mexican Americans fought on both sides, driven by ideology, survival, and regional loyalties. In Texas and California, many Tejanos and Californios joined the Union, opposing slavery and seeking to defend their communities from Confederate expansion. Others, particularly in Texas and along the border, sided with the Confederacy, seeing economic and cultural ties as reasons to fight. Figures like Colonel Santos Benavides, who led Confederate forces in Texas, and Mexican volunteers in Union regiments exemplified this divide. Their contributions, often overlooked, played a crucial role in shaping the war’s southwestern frontier. Podcast available on all major platforms.
