Abstract

VILLEGAS, Pascale. Levy soldiers during the Caste War: record cards and social composition as registered in amparo proceedings, 1875-1903. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.141-167.  Epub Jan 21, 2021. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24485004e.2020.59.70965.

The present work is aimed to analyze the amparo proceedings invoked by recruits against forced military recruitment in the Court of Campeche between 1875 and 1903. Judicial proceedings and sentences are analyzed to determine who these soldiers were, their own origins, recruitment ways, and how they invoked this legal recourse to avoiding recruitment by the Mexican Army, at that time deployed through several military posts along the Yucatan Peninsula to fight rebel Maya Indians during the Caste War.

Keywords : levy; federal army; Campeche; amparo; Caste War.
