This paper analyzes the various actions taken by the authorities of the state of Zacatecas (Mexico) during the First Federal Republic (1824-1835), in order to find solutions to problems related to the exercise of patronage and related topics. It shows that these proposals were useful to defend and drive federalism, and to advance a project to create a secular and liberal State and society. The paper concludes that the attempt to apply this was ambiguous, as it became part of the "pitfalls" that prevented the first federalism from consolidating by contributing to the division of local and national political groups.

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the cholera epidemic of 1833 in the city of Veracruz, from a sociodemographic approach, using information from the burial records of the Parish between 1832 and 1834, as well as the statistics and reports prepared by the Governors of Veracruz from 1827 to 1834, with which it has been possible to develope mortality indicators.

This paper will explore Yucatecan-Mexican relations and local Yucatecan politicking during the early national period, using Yucatan's pronunciamien-tos of 1829 to 1832 as case studies. This examination will highlight that, while Yucatan has historically been perceived as a marginal and pro-autonomous state of early nineteenth-century Mexico, in fact, the years of Yucatecan seces-sion from 1829-1832 were instigated by a small but powerful government, and the majority of Yucatecan economic, military and political factions still desired unification with and possessed loyalty to Mexico. In turn, this exam-ination will contribute to re-defining the identification of Yucatan as a seces-sionist state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this paper was the knowledge and recognition of the spaces of the dwellings occupied by the elite-bourgeois society in Yucatan taking into account the main activities carried out inside them. After identifying archetypical areas, two approaches were undertaken: the first one explored each space and specified its functional dynamics, formal elements and symbolic characterization as well as stated the objects found inside. On the the other hand, the other approach analyzed each space as part of a whole. The study universe was formed by houses built between 1886-1916. The analysis was done with the tools used for the study of everyday life and the understanding of architectural space. The sources of information were varied and abundant, including plans, pictures, newspapers and periodicals. This approach allows understanding the phenomena of spatial compartmentalization, the functional specialization and the relationship between matter and its symbolic conception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
