Hysterical History

We've talked about a war fought over a bucket, but have you heard of a war fought over a pastry shop? In this episode, Alexis teaches Hailey how a Mexican revolution leads to a French blockade of Mexico's ports and how General Santa Anna's leg ended up in a museum in Illinois. Also Alexis accidentally says France touches Mexico and that they owned Mexico. In both incidences, she meant Spain. Podcasting is hard, but she cringed while editing it and had to write this note.
