Mexico has never been a friend of the United States, except for a very brief period after 1866, when our moving W.T. Sherman and 50,000 union veterans to the border "strongly encouraged" the French to pull out, leaving Maximillian to his fate. The period on the border occasioned Sherman's second most famous remark: If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell.
