Question

Why is Benito Juarez called the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico?

Answer 1

Look madam: don't be impressed by the answers that these bunch of guys give you.To get a proper answer,it must be stated by a real Mexican and obviously is me.To start,Benito Juarez did not start the independece of Mexico,it was the cura Hidalgo,who was a priest of the church who brought the indepence from Spain,and look with your eyes open,If it wasn't for this indepedence,not even the United states would reached theirs in the mean time,because Spain covered most of the states,from south to north,in that time,they,the Spanish were the ruling power over the Americas,so,forget that radicalism from those green go's who answered before,they just aswered to show their hate they always feel for Mexico.We always have influence on the United states:food,culture,history,developmet,i... answer these people,please do not answer with stupid answers,to be a president in Mexico ,it has to be a graduated attorney at law graduated in the best universities,don't forget:besides Benito Juarez,most presidents in Mexico are from Spanish decendance.period.

After the independence,Mexico wasn't totally free,we still have to go trought the American invasion,where we lost badly three or four states,but the first one was Texas,then if you don't know Great britain and France also tried to invade Mexico,taking advatage that Mexico just started it's freedom.But the people from Mexico backed up really good their Army in those days to expelled the french from the territory,that was in Puebla,Mexico,at the forth of Loreto,around 85 mexican died,by the french more than 400 men died that day.it is why we celebrate 5 de Mayo,to remember our fight against the invasion.After all this:no Army or armed police or station,wathever is related to foreign gouverments are allow to enter Mexico,The United states and the United kingdoom settle Armed stations or prision facilites everywhere,but mexico,no questions asked.armed,never again.if you don't believe me check the officials rules in Mexico.Our constitution is very solid,and nobody can change it,it was created with treaties and very strict law arragements.Thanks

Answer 2

Im mexican, I have a degree at social studies, so now I know that Benito Juarez was an hasshole! but... Our history teaches that with "Leyes de Reforma" (reform law), he separated religion from politics (all mexicans had to pay taxes to church, knew that?) , he showed respect for handworkers and indigens. Lincoln made laws against slaving, showing respect for people of all kind.

"They we send from heaven"-haha

Answer 3

Politically I don't see any association.

I do see that they both came from humble backgrounds.

Both poor at one time and Benito did not attend school until the age of 14.and became President.

Abraham rose from poverty studied law and became,as you know President

That is only the short answer  yahoo search on Both and you can draw you own conclusions
