Miguel Barbachano Biography |
Miguel Barbachano y Tarrazo (1806 - 17 December 1859) was a liberal Yucatecan politician, who was 5 times governor of Yucat�n between 1841 and 1853.
Miguel Barbachano was born in Campeche.
He was one of the staunchest advocates for the independence of Yucat�n from Mexico, but historical circumstances led to Yucat�n twice declaring it's independence while Barbachano was out of power, and twice Barbachano arranged for Yucat�n's reunification with Mexico.
He generally alternated in power with centerist Santiago M�ndez, who was more in favor of union with Mexico but was driven to declare independence by the excesses of Mexican dictator Antonio L�pez de Santa Anna.
The final reunification was due to the crisis of the Caste War of Yucat�n.
Miguel Barbachano's terms as Governor of Yucat�n were:
11 June 1841 to 13 October 1841
18 August 1842 to 14 November 1843
15 May 1844 to 2 June 1844
1 January 1846 to 21 January 1847
26 March 1848 to 13 February 1853 |
