Abstract

ORTIZ DAVILA, Juan Pablo. Views from the press: The relationships between the Conservatives and the Confederates during the Second Empire, 1863-1866. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2016, n.52, pp.18-38. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ehmcm.2016.05.001.

This paper analyzes, in the first place, the contacts between Mexico and the United States since the discursive perspective of the Mexican conservatives who supported the Second Empire. As such, it focuses on monitoring the discussions in the newspapers about the possibility, since 1863, to design a tactical alliance between the government of Maximilian and the Confederate States of America. In a second stage, the standpoint of former Confederates on the Mexican Empire is analyzed, completing the complex and unexplored perceptions in favor of the imperial regime between the Mexican conservatives and the Confederate States of America.
