Notes

OP's Notes:

The United States Army occupied Mexico City from September 14 1847, to June 12 1848. The occupation began with three days of intense and bloody street fighting between Mexicans and U.S. troops. Generally, U.S. historians of the war have contended that the conclusion of street fighting marked a transition to a peaceful occupation, disrupted occasionally by random acts of violence primarily involving a criminal element of Mexico’s urban underclass, known as leperos. Yet the private journals, diaries, and letters of members of the U.S. occupation force suggest that those troops perceived something more than random acts of crime being directed toward them―they saw a more generalized, and organized, anti-American resistance, particularly among the Mexican lower classes, but also sometimes including elements of the Mexican military. Evidence from contemporary writings of some Mexicans supports such a view.
