After the union won the war Custer the U.S. volunteer service was mustered out and he looked looked for other positions and he was offered the rank of adjutant general of the Mexican leader Benito Juarez who later won the conflict with France on the 5th of may 1862, leading to the creation of the Cinco de mayo celebration. But Custer had refused as he would have had to resign completely from the U.S. army. When he returned to the Army he was reverted to captain and Lieutenant colonel of the 7th cavalry regiment.
