Wars within War: Mexican Guerrillas, Domestic Elites, and the United States of America, 1846-1848
By early April 1847, within a year of the outbreak of hostilities between Mexico and the United States, public-spirited Mexicans had to confront a somber reality. Not only had U.S. armies advanced deep into northern Mexico and gained control of present-day New Mexico and California, but they also had captured the fortified city of Veracruz on Mexico’s eastern coast and were prepared to march some 250 miles inland to the Mexican capital and force …

Where Did the Other Heroes Go?' Exalting the Polko National Guard Battalions in Nineteenth-Century Mexico
In 1848 the moderado administration of General José Joaquín Herrera staged public ceremonies to honour the 'polko' national guardsmen who had died defending Mexico City during the recent war with the USA. Herrera's government attempted to use the rituals to alleviate the pain of defeat and bring together a divided nation, as well as to reorganise the national guard into a military force manned by the well-to-do that would help preserve political …
Rumours of War: Civil Conflict in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
Historians have traditionally viewed the numerous civil wars and pronunciamientos that afflicted nineteenth-century Latin America as “purposeless tragedies” largely manufactured by “the blind obedience of individual soldiers to a charismatic leader” (p. 3). The eight essays in the volume under review suggest otherwise. They make clear that such conflicts were inherent to the region’s political culture, that participants often understood the wars’…

An Immigrant Solider in the Mexican War
Mexicans at Arms: Puro Federalists and the Politics of War, 1845-1848
The decades that followed independence from Spain in 1821 transformed Mexico from a strong, stable colony to a republic suffering from economic decline and political turmoil. This chaotic state hindered efforts of the young republic to meet the aggressive expansionism of the United States between 1845 and 1848. Santoni sheds new light on Mexican domestic history during the conflict--a much neglected subject--through a comprehensive examination of…

The Failure of Mobilization: The Civic Militia of Mexico in 1846
Durante la guerra con los Estados Unidos, varios líderes mexicanos procuraron organizar una milicia cívica que tomara las armas en defensa de la patria. Sin embargo, el esfuerzo de armar a la ciudadanía en 1846 fue un fracaso completo. Este estudio examina los obstáculos que dificultaron la formación de una milicia poderosa. La falta de organización de la milicia cívica fue otro elemento que hizo estragos en el intento de defensa nacional

A Fear of the People: The Civic Militia of Mexico in 1845
FOR almost 250 years after the conquest of Mexico, New Spain's colonial military establishment was minimal. Except for occasional civil disorders aimed more at righting local inequities than at achieving major changes in sovereignty, no tradition of unrest justified maintenance of a large standing army. Even the potential threat of expeditionary forces sent across the Atlantic by Spain's European enemies posed no immediate danger to the major pop…
