The fall out between William Worth and his old friend Winfield Scott after the Battle of Molino del Rey was so bad that William even renamed his son William from Winfield Scott. Now, that's mad.
Worth next led his division against the San Cosme Gate at Mexico City. When American forces entered the city, Worth personally climbed to the roof of the National Palace and took down the Mexican flag and replaced it with the Stars and Stripes.
For his service at the Battle of Chapultepec, the United States Congress awarded him a sword.
In 1847, he was admitted as an honorary member of the Society of Cincinnati.
