In the storyline, Colonel Mackenzie is meeting with supporters of Porfirio Diaz, who are supposedly fighting for democracy. In reality Diaz opposed Juarez and later Lerdo, who led governments recognized by the US. Diaz would later lead a very undemocratic regime, finally toppled by Madero. The US interests included collecting debts from Mexico. The plotline of this story does not make sense, including the romantic angle.
