dbo:abstract
  • La rebelión de los Polkos fue un conflicto bélico ocurrido en México en 1847 contextualizado entre las luchas del centralismo-federalismo de la primera mitad del siglo XIX durante la administración del presidente Valentín Gómez Farías. El levantamiento armado fue en contra de las Leyes del 11 de enero de 1847 y del 4 de febrero de 1847, llamadas de manos muertas y que despojaban al clero de sus propiedades para con esos recursos financiar la defensa frente a la invasión estadounidense. Los rebeldes estaban en contra de Valentín Gómez Farías pero intentaron ganarse la buena voluntad de Antonio López de Santa Anna por la popularidad que este tenía en el ejército. Se lo conoció como rebelión de los polkos según un autor porque muchos oficiales del general De la Peña Barragán bailaban la danza polka, pero el rumor popular es porque eran simpatizantes de las intenciones del entonces presidente de Estados Unidos James K. Polk de apoderarse no solamente del territorio de Texas sino de todo el territorio mexicano. La lucha armada obstaculizó el envío de recursos económicos y militares a Veracruz, cuando las fuerzas estadounidenses entraron en México. (es)
  • The Revolt of the Polkos was a coup d'état, launched on February 27th, 1847 during the Mexican-American War, by the militias stationed at the capital, with the aim of overthrowing President Valentin Gomez Farias. It would eventually succeed and Valentin Gomez Farias was replaced by Pedro María de Anaya. This was the second successful coup that Mexico experienced during the Mexican-American War and Gomez Farias himself had ascended to the presidency in the aftermath of the fall of President Mariano Paredes, who was overthrown in August, 1846, for his poor handling of the war. This was also the second non-consecutive, time that Gomez Farias was serving as President of Mexico. He had previously been president in 1833 during which he had attempted to pass many anti-clerical measures. As the government was struggling to finance the war, the Gomez Farias administration in January, 1847 decided upon nationalizing church lands and selling them to the amount of fifteen million pesos. The measure was met with difficulties and controversy, with conservatives fearing the revival of the 1833 anti-clerical campaign, and moderate liberals questioning the effectiveness of such a controversial decree. Violent resistance throughout the country began in January, but it was not until February 27th, that the Revolt of the Polkos broke out in the capital. Polkos was a term used to refer to the middle class professionals that made up the militias involved in the revolt. Meanwhile Santa Anna was returning to Mexico City from the Battle of Buena Vista to focus on Winfield Scott's expedition at Veracruz. He received news of the revolt en route, and eventually took the role of arbitrator, siding with the rebels and deposing Gomez Farias. (en)
