The land of Utah was part of Mexico before it was part of the United States. (Was still Mexico when Brigham Young and pioneers got here)

Which one? Mexico has like fifteen Independence days from all the revolutions they had. In fact, that's why Texas seceded. They were still loyal to the previous constitution. So, in light of the collapse of that government they opted to secede and found their own government

@@patrickjones8255 we do not consider any other but September 16th the Independence day (from Spain). the most of battles or revolts you mention are part of minor armed conflicts, so to speak, several of those aren't even studied in our schools anymore, even 5 de Mayo is sort of a normal day.
