<p><strong>&nbsp;: When I was in high school, everyone called the Mexican students like myself “cheddars.” I’m not sure where this originated from, or what it really has to do with Mexican culture. When I have asked other Mexicans what this means, they are not sure, either. “Cheddar packing” is a term used to describe a car full of Mexicans. I hope you can answer this for me—<em>muchas gracias</em>!</strong></p>

<p>Faith moves mountains, goes the old saying.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what faith made a group of Irish immigrants do in the 19th&nbsp;century, when they decided they’d rather die at the hands of the Protestant Yankees rather than kill their Mexican Catholic brothers in the Mexican-American War.</p>
