Siguen ladrando los perros
Señal que voy avanzando
Así lo dice el refrán
Para aquellos que andan hablando
De la gente que trabaja
Y que no andan vacilando

Al que no le vino el saco
Pídalo a su medida
Conmigo no andan jugando
¿Pa que se arriesgan la vida?
Traigo una superpatada
Y los traigo ya en la mira

Para hablar a mis espaldas
Para eso se pintan solos
Porque no me hablan de frente
Acaso temen al mono
Ya saben con quién se meten
Vengan a rifar la suerte

A mí nadie me dio nada
Todo lo que tengo es mío
Con el sudor de mi frente
He logrado lo que he querido
Solo la vida les debo
A mis padres tan queridos

Navojoa, cómo te quiero
Guasave, tierra querida
Siempre que me ando paseando
Los extraño sin medida
Luego llego de pasada
A visitar mi familia

Sigan chillando culebras
Las quitaré del camino
Y a los que en verdad me aprecian
Aquí tienen a un amigo
Ya les canté este corrido
A todos mis enemigos

From January 1822 to July 1823, the five Central American nations of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua were under the control of the First Mexican Empire, and briefly, the Supreme Executive Power. Each nation was one of the five southernmost provinces of the Mexican Empire, and their incorporation brought Mexico to the height of its territorial extent.[1]

Only two months after the Act of Independence of Central America was signed in September 1821, Regent of Mexico Agustín de Iturbide, later the Mexican emperor, made a formal request to the Central American government to accept annexation to the Mexican Empire. His request was accepted by the Consultive Junta of Guatemala City on 5 January 1822. Despite the acceptance by the Guatemalan-based government in favor of annexation, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and parts of Nicaragua resisted Mexican annexation, forcing Mexican and allied Guatemalan soldiers to forcefully subjugate the rebellious regions of Central America.

Mexican forces and allied Guatemalan soldiers under the command of Brigadier Vicente Filísola, who was serving as the captain general of the Central American provinces, spent just over one year campaigning to forcefully annex El Salvador, which ended in a Mexican victory and El Salvador's annexation in February 1823. In Costa Rica, the government declared independence from Mexico in October 1822, however, a coup by monarchists in March 1823 led to the outbreak of a civil war. The Battle of Ochomogo deposed the monarchist government and reestablished the secessionist government. Meanwhile, a rebellion in Nicaragua led by José Anacleto Ordóñez sought to overthrow the incumbent Nicaraguan government.

Before Filísola could continue to Nicaragua and Costa Rica after his victory in El Salvador, Agustín I was forced to abdicate the Mexican imperial throne and go into exile, and a provisional government was established after the abolition of the monarchy. As a result, Filísola abandoned his orders to continue the conquest of Central America and convened a congress of Central American political leaders to determine the future of Central America.

On 1 July 1823, the Central American congress declared independence from Mexico and established the United Provinces of Central America, later known as the Federal Republic of Central America, which existed until is dissolution in 1841 after a series of civil wars. Not all of Central America chose to become independent, however, as the region of Chiapas remained a part of Mexico and is now one of the country's 31 states.

what about the pupusa question

[Creeperopolis]

In January 2004, the nations formulating and ratifying the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic got into an argument because both El Salvador and Honduras claimed to be the birthplace of the pupusa, a dish made with cornmeal or rice flour stuffed with stuff ranging from beans to cheese to rice to meat, and both demanded the exclusive rights to its exporting.

Honduras presented evidence consisting of etymologists saying that since the Pipil language is so close to the Nahuatl language, the Honduran Nahua tribe could have created the dish.

El Salvador presented evidence consisting of archeologists attributed the creation of the pupusa to the Pipil people due to the name meaning 'swollen' in the Pipil language and the artifacts found in the Joya de Cerén which show ingredients and tools that were used to make an early version of pupusas.

After two days, the CAFTA–DR agreed with El Salvador and Honduras gave up their claim.

Was the CAFTA–DR correct in their judgement based on the evidence provided? Were both claims sufficient enough? Does Honduras deserve some of the credit for the creation of the pupusa? Please provide a thorough explanation on your opinion.

El Salvador is the homeland of the pupusa.

The Mexican Constituent Congress was established on 24 February 1822 and was tasked with drafting a constitution for the Mexican Empire.[67][105] In November 1821, the Mexican government decided on the electoral procedures to select representatives for the Constituent Congress and that it would consist of 162 members, but after Central America joined the empire, Iturbide wanted to extent representation to the region. Due to unreliable demographical data at the time, Iturbide reluctantly allowed Central America to have 40 representatives in the Constituent Congress, which he thought was a "prudent" amount.[106] Despite being allowed to have 40 representatives, only 38 were elected.

The following is a list of Central America's representatives in the Constituent Congress:

Chiapas: 7[107]
José Anselmo Lara
Pedro Celís
Bonifacio Fernández de Córdova

Agustín I abolished the Constituent Congress on 31 October 1822,[105] and replaced it with the National Institutional Junta. Of the 55-member legislature, 13 were from Central America. The Central American representatives were Arrollave, Beltranena, Celís, de la Plata, Fernández de Córdova, Figueroa, Gutiérrez, Larreynaga, Montúfar, Orantes, Peralta, Quiñones, and Rubí.[115] The Constituent Congress was abolished before a constitution was approved.[67][68] The National Institutional Junta was short-lived and was abolished on 29 March 1823, shortly after Agustín I abdicated.[115]
