Benito Pablo Juarez & The War of the Reform

Benito Juarez, a Zapotec Indian, came from the state of Oaxaca. Born poor in 1806 and illiterate until the age of twelve, the nonetheless strove to improve himself, eventually finishing law school and rising in the ranks of the political order in his native state. His predispositions and training were mainstream liberal, and her naturally enough questioned and subsequently attacked the privileged society of

By the early 1850s Juarez’s liberal credentials were well established, and when Santa Ana returned to power one last time, he had Juarez arrested and exiled. Juarez Found other liberals in New Orleans, where he joined them in plotting the overthrow of this last Santa Ana dictatorship. The exiles drew up a statement of principles that evolved into another one of Mexico’s famous plans, this one the Plan of Ayutla. It was, as usual, a call for insurrection, outlining grievances and offering solutions. For Santa Anna, it was the beginning of the end. He resigned and went into exile for the last time in 1855. For Juarez and his Liberals, it was the beginning of a prolonged internecine war that savaged Mexico from 1858 to 1860.

Resistance to Maximilian came from to quarters: From the Mexicans themselves led by Benito Juarez, the great Liberal leader who was pushed out of his presidency by the French invasion; and from the United States.

The Ley Juarez and the Ley Lerdo both directly attacked the corporate privileges of the military and the Church, but it was the reaction to the latter that produced the most acrimony. The Ley Juarez essentially stripped military and ecclesiastical tribunals of their right to try all cases--civil or criminal--involving soldiers and priests
