"William Walker conquered Nicaragua and reintroduced slavery there, then attempted to conquer the rest of Central America."

Interesting that you don't include who had William Walker killed and why.

I don’t see how it is terribly relevant, but I’m perfectly well aware that Walker was captured by the Royal Navy, which turned him over the local Hondurans who quite reasonably executed him under the Laws of War as a non-state actor waging war on a nation state.

What at the time was called a pirate.
