The Battle of Tecoac (Spanish: Batalla de Tecoac) was fought at Tecoac (municipality of Huamantla) in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala on November 16, 1876,[1] between the forces of Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada, then President of Mexico, and those of Porfirio Díaz. The battle was a victory for Díaz, who subsequently assumed the presidency himself; Lerdo went into exile in New York City.
