词条 | List of Mexican–American War monuments and memorials |
释义 |
This is a list of monuments and memorials that were established as public displays and symbols of the Mexican–American War of 1846–1848 and its veterans on both sides. One of the most significant is the Mexico City National Cemetery, one of the first U.S. national cemeteries. The U.S. did not start its official system of national cemeteries until an 1862 act of Congress authorized U.S. President Abraham Lincoln to proceed. However, on September 28, 1850, an American military cemetery was established in Mexico City in the aftermath of the Mexican–American War.[1] Other monuments and memorials in Mexico commemorate those lost in the Mexican side of the conflict, particularly the Niños Héroes, seven army cadets who lost their lives defending Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. There are other monuments in Mexico City, and in Monterrey, Nogales, Puebla, San Miguel de Cozumel, and Toluca de Lerdo. In the United States, "conspicuously missing" is any memorial to the Mexican–American War on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.[2] But there are monuments in California, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. {{Horizontal TOC|nonum=y|limit=3}}MexicoHelen Escobedo in the book Mexican Monuments: Strange Encounters notes: Literally hundreds of monuments commemorate the Niños Héroes, the seven boys who defended the castle of Chapultepec alone against the American invasion in 1847. According to legend the last one alive wrapped himself in the Mexican flag and jumped off the parapet rather than surrender.[3] Mexico City
50 Saint Patrick's battalion members were officially executed by the U.S. Army.[11] MonterreyThe Niños Héroes Park, Monterrey. There is a statue in the park of the six heroes.[12] Nogales

Related monuments and memorialsThere are monuments to Mexican–Americans who served in World War II in various places, e.g. in Emporia, Kansas,[46] and in Sacramento, California (which was vandalized).[47] There are also monuments and memorials relating to the Texas Revolution (1835–36), which preceded the Mexican–American War by a decade.
