"The heretics are going to overrun all this
country. Go and learn their language and come
back prepared to defend your
people" (Twitchell, 1912 p.400).

The above sentence is referring to the
English language as the "Foreign language";
Spanish was the defacto language spoken
in the southwest.

Said by a United States of American named
Jos=E9 Francisco Chaves
Delegate Republican of the Territory of New Mexico
Thirty-ninth - Forty-first Congresses
March 4, 1865 - March 3, 1871
Jos=E9 Francisco Chaves, one of the most eminent New Mexicans of
his time, became a powerful political personality in his county
and an acknowledged leader of the Republican Party.
He continued his education in New Mexico until he left for
St. Louis, Missouri with the following advice from his father:
"The heretics are going to overrun all this country. Go and
learn their language and come back prepared to defend your
people" (Twitchell, 1912 p.400).
There were more Hispanic, and Spanish speaking representatives
to our US Congress in the 1800's in the Southwest USA, than there
are in the US Congress today!
