The republic Starts

**The Early Republic**On the 4th of October of 1824 three men lead an assault against the emperor Iturbide led by Francisco Morazán**,**Antonio López de Santa Anna and the 1st president of the new republic Guadalupe Victoria. The three man created a new constitution and elections with the liberal ideologies and perspectives of the three men with their liberal need (altough Santa Anna was a more conservative figure).

For thirteen years the three ruled the country first Guadalupe Victoria (1824-1829) improved it the new systems organized provinces, refined the infrastructure and organized ranches with new navy and well developed army. Guadalupe Victoria needed the country to be stable if it needed to win wars and hold the upper hand so he encouraged institutions and companies to make guns for the military and create military academies for the better trained armies with encouragement of industry along with better systems and infrastructure for the easier movements of supplies and weapons, and the banning of slavery. Then Francisco Morazán (1829-1835) made Naval repair ports and demanded more ports across the island of Cuba. He improved the infrastructure of buildings and took out the church and separated the state and church and improved cities and establish the congress and along with political demands such democracy and rule of party.

**The War**

The last of the Big three was Santa Anna (1835-1843) who faced the 1st biggest diplomatic crisis after independence that was The Texan revolution where white Texans who settled from America Brought slavery and that was prohibited in the country which led to a revolt that led to independence which was quickly suppressed. the American-Mexican war in which In 1838, U.S. President Martin Van Buren made a proposition to purchase Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México from Mexico, and to agree upon the Rio Grande river as the southern border of United States. When that offer was

rejected, President Van. Buren moved U.S. troops commanded by Major General Zachary Taylor further south into the disputed Sabine Strip The U.S claimed the land up of the Sabine river based on the Treaties of Velasco, but Mexico refused to accept these as valid, claiming that the in the treaty there was no clear demarcation but the languages spoken between the Cypress and Sulphur River was Spanish and therefore it was Part of the New Spanish Federal Republic . The ill-fated Texan Santa Fe Expedition of 1838 attempted to realize the claim to Cypress territory east of the Sabine, but its members were captured and imprisoned.Reference to the Cypress boundary of Texas was omitted from the US Congress's annexation resolution to help secure passage after the annexation treaty failed in the Senate. later President Martin Van Buren claimed the Sabine boundary, and when Mexico sent forces over the north of the Sulphur River, provoked a dispute which later turned into a war

At the end mexico won because of its guerrilla tactics and rapid soldier Maneuver and invasion of Washington D.C led it to win the war in 1842 , Mexico got a key city the Port of New Orleans as the treaty of Havana puts it along with a hundred year peace plan and cooperation.

Santa Anna stayed stayed a little longer in power due to the war, When the congress found out about this they protested. An election was called and the new president Became Guerrero to Which the backing of most of the military and such ended Santa Annas ambition.

**The Reform War**

For 18 Years Mexico tried to recover itself from the devastation the American-Mexican war brought to the country. The government was not doing the needed to solve the problem and thus it insisted everything was fine, The people got tired of the conservative government that lead the country because it was not doing what was needed to help people
and elected a liberal government. The conservatives and liberals each time grew worst and divided into two the conservative faction of states and the liberals with the election finished and the liberal government elected through Benito Juarez, the conservatives rose up in 1857 and concentrated that "the liberals are dictators and want to destroy the country" each state choose its side

depending on whose political ideology the governor was in and declare its state on whose side it choose. For 2 years the war raged on until the liberals made some heavy blows on the strongholds and capitulated them. now the liberal government needed to pay heavy foreign debts to the European powers and pay not only their debt but the debt from the conservative need. This made the government heavily to tax and create more sufficient ways to pay debt. However they did achieve they major needed reforms the country needed and due to undisputed backing of all the liberals members, a new constitution was written and the political borders were changed with new states that favored the liberal government.

**The intervention of the American civil war**

After the American-Mexican war the North and the South of the united states became bitter because of the loss plus the debate about slavery still hold deep the roots of the radical idea of emancipation. In 1861 Fort Sumter got bombarded by the rebel side known as the confederacy and the long struggle this will lead for the Unionist North and Confederate South. In New Orleans since it was part of mexico became slave free and heavy influx of slaves came in, guards of New Orleans protecting the boundaries so slaves could be free as the mayor of New Orleans was himself a former African slave. this brought rage as New Orleans Became a gateway to be free along with the coast of Florida because Cuba was on the other side of the channel. The confederates tried to convince the new government of

mexico but failed miserably for two years, Until June the 1st of 1863 when the confederates invaded New Orleans and made it an annexation returning all people of color back into slavery no matter if they are free, not even the mayor of New Orleans was free. The Mexican Government used tactics to attack from the west of the Confederacy and the Union from the North of it, blockades by both nations made it harder, although they did a minor push in Texas a heavier one was given back by the Mexican military in Arkansas and Louisiana. In 1865 the Confederacy lost and signed the treaty at the Appomattox courthouse. Mexico was given back New Orleans and made Louisiana a protectorate until 1867
