William Walker tuvo que declararse católico para poder jurar al cargo en un país al que había llegado un año antes. En este artículo se analiza dicho acontecimiento con base en fuentes bibliográficas anglosajonas. Y se llega a una conclusión con un nuevo concepto: la existencia de un &#8220;imperialismo sureño&#8221; o &#8220;esclavista&#8221;, ligado a la doctrina del Destino Manifiesto, en contraposición con la Doctrina Monroe. Walker representaba a la primera, por ello tuvo que enfrentar no solo la espontánea resistencia centroamericana, sino también la postura adversa de su compatriota, el empresario Cornelius Vanderbilt. Al final, una amplia coalición de gobiernos de la región junto a la Casa Blanca precipitó el fusilamiento de Walker. Para los Estados Unidos, el conflicto por Nicaragua sería el preámbulo de su propia guerra civil.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT: in 1856, Nicaragua had a president born in Tennessee, United States. William Walker had to declare himself a Catholic in order to take the oath of office in a country where he had arrived a year earlier. This article analyzes this event based on Anglo-Saxon bibliographic sources. It concludes with a new concept: the existence of a &#8220;southern imperialism&#8221; or &#8220;slaveholding&#8221;, linked to the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, as opposed to the Monroe Doctrine. Walker represented the former, which is why he had to face not only the spontaneous Central American resistance, but also the adverse stance of his compatriot, the businessman Cornelius Vanderbilt. In the end, a broad coalition of governments in the region together with the White House precipitated Walker's firing squad. For the United States, the conflict over Nicaragua would be the preamble to its own civil war.]]></p></abstract>
