The history of Mexico carries on its shoulders emotions, struggles, and identities that build, shape, and decide it. Until 1821, its pre-Hispanic, Creole, and mestizo inhabitants plunged into the deep waters of colonialism, conquest, segregation, racism, and injustice. .
From 1810, when national emancipation was achieved, until the death of José María Morelos y Pavón, who was shot in 1815, the design of the new Mexican identity began with the Hispanic and rural mixture, with the native races and the New Mexican genetics. resentful and suspicious of entrenching themselves in their original customs and rituals without losing their essence, but accepting the new forms of coexistence subject to the domination and caprice of European currents, of the dominant position of the Creoles and mestizos to segregate the races of the old empires Aztecs or Maya to the lowest rung of progress and establish social hierarchies as coexistence of classes
After the old power struggles between the conquest and the search for privileges, the loss of territories or the settling of accounts among the resentful, military force is present to impose conditions of privilege among a few in order to dominate the majority.
The first democratic attempt to legally order the new liberated and independent nation was formulated in 1814 in the Chilpancingo congress with a bill that would give life to the first federal Constitution of the United Mexican States after the independence of Mexico was achieved on 28 of September. 1821, this Magna Carta is sanctioned on October 4, 1824 as the Constitution of Apatzingán to capture the aspirations of freedom and social justice for all.
In the mid-nineteenth century, after 48 years of independence, in the distribution of political power, two antagonistic groups emerged between liberals and conservatives when the first liberal constitution was structured in 1857 under the guidance of Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada, Benito Juárez and José María. Iglesias, who undertake a new sense of government to improve the conditions of the majority, was the search for balance and the distribution of the benefits of social struggles, the war of reform achieves changes and routes for the future in the first civil war of the new country.
Very distant were the social aspirations of the marginalized classes when in the new political order consortiums, haciendas, class privileges and unequal distribution of land are configured, they segregate or discriminate against the inhabitants of rural areas, the original focus of discontent when in the distribution of the land the spoils of war the soldiers and the armed forces seize economic power and after the French invasion, Porfirio Díaz leads the country to authoritarianism, to sole power and to the control of the dissatisfied masses for 35 long years.
After the emergence of the Mexican revolution in 1910, a new opportunity arose to achieve the desires of a huge population that was differentiated and separated from educational, social or charitable progress, materializing after a long civil war struggle to eliminate re-election and abuse. . of power, a renewed hope for social justice with the promulgation of the last constitution of the United Mexican States in 1917.
I write this novel as a tribute to the laborious constituent legislators of 1917 who are an essential part in the evolution of modern Mexico, that fiction allows me to involve them in a world alien to reality but that coincidences are only part of the narrative without much aspiration. to show my pride in being Mexican.
