Church and State in Mexico from Calles to Cárdenas, 1924-1938 (open access)

Church and State in Mexico from Calles to Cárdenas, 1924-1938

This dissertation presents an overview of Church- State relations in Mexico from 1924 to 1938. It examines the actions and motives of prominent national leaders, the papacy, the episcopate, and the Mexican citizenry to determine justification and culpability. This dissertation presents several conclusions. When Calles enforced the anticlerical provisions of the Constitution of 1917, the clergy withdrew from the churches in protest. The episcopate as a body bore a moral responsibility for the Cristero rebellion that resulted, but avoided implication in the movement. Because the Church's supporters were in the minority, that institution in 1929 accepted a settlement requiring clerical obedience to the constitution. Churchmen consoled their parishioners with the thought that the Church would rise again.

A Descriptive Account of United States Government Documents Pertaining to the History of United States Diplomatic Relations with Mexico, 1821-1846 (open access)

A Descriptive Account of United States Government Documents Pertaining to the History of United States Diplomatic Relations with Mexico, 1821-1846

This paper provides a thematic approach to three major United States government document series relating to topics of early United States diplomatic relations with Mexico; treaty negotiations, the Santa 'Fe trade, the Texas question, and claims. The document series examined are .the United States presidential papers, United States Congressional documents , and the National Archives Record Group 59, diplomatic dispatches from United State Ministers to Mexico. Historians must make an evaluation of all: documentary evidence available for an accurate assessment of historical events. Inadequate analysis of these major United States document series has limited this necessary assessment in the area of United States Mexican diplomatic relations, 1821-1846.

[Disinterring Bodies of U.S. Soldiers]

The caption on this postcard reads: 'Disinterring Bodies of U.S. Soldiers in Mexico as the Troops Withdraw.' We can conclude, because of the written words on this postcard, that this event was captured somewhere in Mexico and that it is most likely somewhere near the U.S./Mexico Border- according to the creator of this image. The author of the caption wrote that this fallen soldier was being disinterred; presumably from where he fell during the battle. It was common to bury soldiers where they fell in battle because some military figures like General Pershing believed that burying a serviceman at the battlefield with their comrades offered the greatest glory for the fallen soldier. Bodies were also buried in temporary graves to prevent the spread of disease and also because the unit needed to remain mobile. The bodies, sometimes, were then retrieved at a later time so that the serviceman's remains could be sent home for a 'proper burial'. Several soldiers can be seen disinterring the body. A wood casket rests near the grave. Please also see postcard [Disinterring the Body of U.S. Soldier] WH-PC-196-017 for more information on this event.

An Investigation of Mexican Gravesites in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas (open access)

An Investigation of Mexican Gravesites in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas

My work already shared some of the characteristics of the gravesites that I proposed to study. They were similar in that they both attempted to integrate sacred and profane imagery. Both called attention to personal events and related these events to a larger scheme. Finally, both were involved with the creation of objects of veneration according to personal edicts, but in relation to already established mythologies. I proposed to create a body of work based on the information gathered from the investigation of three predominantly Mexican graveyards-- one in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and two outside of Laredo, Texas.
