Why did you answer his question posed in 2021 in the 2020 thread on the SAME topic?

Also, you could have done the saxi thing: change the title of the thread and call it Happy Birthday to a Random General, to try to mislead and confuse people.

Mexico allowed the generals in after the war but not their slavery. So when did slavery end in Mexico?

it was not until 1824 that a Constitution was adopted that actually freed them. Even so, it was not until 1829 that the last slaves were freed. Slavery did survive in the part of Mexico that is now Texas.

Texas revolted from Mexico (1835-1836) and would later join the Confederacy in 1861.
