The Nicaraguan National Song

A writer from Kentucky was inspired, like I said, to write the Nicaraguan National song. A conspiracy theory was developed that Walker's conquest of Nicaragua was part of some convoluted scheme to get the country annexed by the US and add another slave state to the union. People who knew Walker didn't find that likely. At least that it was like a grand scheme to support slavery. Or he really just wanted his own empire in Central America. The real underlying purpose of Walker's going to Nicaragua, in my opinion, was empire in the tropics with Walker as the central figure. Of this, I never had any doubt.
