Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Cinco de Mayo is the day Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain?

No. Multiple reference sources state that Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla, not Mexican independence, and that Mexico's independence from Spain is celebrated on September 16. One education article loosely calls Cinco de Mayo a holiday honoring Mexican independence, reflecting the misconception the claim repeats.
