Why is there a statue of Abraham Lincoln in Mexico?

359 views

I’m watching something filmed in Mexico and there’s a brief scene in Tijuana (I think) that shows an Abraham Lincoln statue.

I’m definitely not a history buff or anything, so I’m curious as to why it’s there.

Once he defeated the Confederate army, he could have kept going but he didn’t, and for that Mexico is eternally grateful.

Theres also one in Manchester, England
something to do with English trade union support and the cotton trade/slavery
Manchester is historically a cotton industry city so i can understand a connection, but i dont know the details

In 1861, during Lincoln’s presidency, France attempted to invade Mexico and seize control of the country. The US provided a significant amount of war material to the Mexican government to help them drive out the French.
