Citizen Guerrero




Between 1810 and 1821, Guerrero won a total of 491 battles, using guerrilla tactics against the Spanish army. He always credited the victories to his fellow soldiers, however: “It wasn’t me, but the people who fought and triumphed.” Source: http://beyondvictoriana.com/2013/02/18/the-americas-first-black-and-native-president-vicente-guerrero/
