(0.00 / 0 votes)In 1853, a small group of Americans
journeyed to Sonora, Mexico.
Their mission was to free that country
from a corrupt dictatorship.
Their leader's name
was William Walker.
Walker's forces will never fall back.
His men would rather die first.
Fight! They're only Mexicans!
You must make sacrifices for freedom,
for justice, for religious conviction!
Stand up and fight,
fight you pigheaded bastards! Fight!
What is this?
Get back, you sons of b*tches.
Sh*t.
Oh, f***!
Brigade, attention!
Men of the 1st lndependence Battalion,
we came to Sonora
with bold hearts and lofty intentions.
But I will not dissemble with you.
Reinforcements have failed to arrive.
We are without food or water.
We're trapped.
Only an act of God can save us now.
Crocker, prepare for departure.
We're going home. - Yes, sir!
This is a magnificent moment for me.
It is a privilege to be at your side.
Even if we are defeated.
We will live on in history.
Mon frre!
Don't be so silly, man.
Walker led his men
to the American border.
Unjustly accused of violating
Mexico's neutrality, he was put on trial.
Quiet!
I demand quiet!
Does Mr. Walker
wish to make a statement
before the jury decides
on a verdict? - Yes, Your Honor.
Unless a man believes
that there is something great to do,
he can do nothing great.
A great idea
springs up from a man's soul,
agitates his entire being,
transports him
from the ignorant present
and makes him feel the future
in a moment.
It is the Americans' God-given right
to dominate the Western hemisphere.
It is our moral duty to protect
our neighbors from exploitation.
It is the fate of America
to go ahead.
That is her Manifest Destiny.
- Hear! Hear!
Your Honor, we find
the defendant, William Walker...
Not guilty.
- Not guilty.
Where to next, Colonel?
We must move southward.
Only by expanding
can we hope to avoid a civil war
and save those institutions
we hold most dear.
I assume you are including slavery,
are you not, Mr. Squier?
I most certainly am, sir.
We must not be sentimental
if we hope to preserve
that which is most precious to us.
My sentiments entirely, Mr. Squier.
- Thank you, Mr. Moby.
How absolutely right we both are.
Pardon me? - Miss Martin says that
perhaps they not all worth saving.
Well, perhaps not.
But I'm sure the little lady agrees
that we must preserve
our way of life at any cost.
Or the barbarians will surely storm
the gates. And then what? - Well said.
Pardon?
Miss Martin is of a different view.
cultural preservation. - lnteresting.
Ellen. Please, Ellen!
I'm afraid she's not herself.
She's been at my recent trial,
plus our approaching marriage...
Excuse me. Doctor,
please take care of our guests. - Yes.
The renowned Walker has prepared
a statement in the form of a quote
from President Buchanan:
"Expansion is
the future of our country.
Only cowards fear and oppose it."
Mr. Cole, will the colonel
be returning to Mexico?
He has no immediate plans, except to
pursue his private affairs in peace.
Ellen.
Ellen, you know I despise,
I despise slavery.
Walker! Walker!
In the flurry of excitement
following his acquittal,
Walker was invited to visit
that captain of industry,
Cornelius Vanderbilt,
considered by some the richest
and most powerful man in the world.
Colonel Walker, pleased to see you.
The Commodore will be so happy.
- Give him some water, please.
He's been asking about you every day.
- Is my horse safe with him? - Yes.
You've been very much on his mind.
Central America, Colonel, there's
