You should learn tht slavery was the reason Texas revolted. Immigrants from Southern states brought their slaves, were indignant that Mexico made slavery illegal. That's the whole reason there is a Texas.

And Texas threatened to invade New Mexico to make it a slave state. Zachary Taylor said he’d crush Texas and hand its leaders if they tried and they backed down.

“hand its leaders”?

Yeah, hang. He threatened to hang them and any senators who supported them, including his son in law, Jefferson Davis.

The state of Guerrero is named after Bicente Guerrero. A Mexican president in the 1820s who was also a black Indian.

That said, Mexico has a complicated history with Race and can be considered to be over all and in general terms prone to prejudice. You can’t have 300 years of a Spanish casta system without some residual effect. But hey… It’s true. Mexico got rid of slavery way before the US.
