Which Mexican leader did not die violently?
GENERAL SANTA ANNA
DEATH OF SANTA ANNA, July 20, 1876
Though Santa Anna never again regained power, he was allowed to return to Mexico in 1874. The first thing he did was to demand a large pension on grounds of "past services to the nation." In refusing the petition, the government must have felt like that mythical judge who hears the appeal of the "orphan" who has killed his parents. Santa Anna spent his last three years living on the bounty of his son-in-law. He died on July 20, 1876.
