The Lerdista Uprising of 1878 was a military conflict between the Government of General Porfirio Díaz Against the Lerdista Supporters Commanded by General Mariano Escobedo and Lorenzo Garza.
In the first months of 1878, there were some seditious movements in favor of the Lerdista cause and a force led by General Mariano Escobedo appeared on the northern border. From May 18, 1878, he spoke out from his exile in New York and carried out a military uprising that broke out on July 19.[3][2]
Aftermath
[edit]The uprising failed, as most of the federal army remained loyal to Porfirio Díaz. This military failure initiated the disintegration of the Lerdista group. Escobedo, who had pronounced out in Guerrero, Coahuila, was apprehended on July 29, 1878, in Cuatrociénegas and Díaz spared his life,[4] The Lerdista General Lorenzo Garza was later defeated in Matamoros by the Federal Army.[5][6]
General Palacios, who also rebelled against Porfirio Díaz in Favor of The Lerdista Cause up in Zacatecas for a short time later,[7] had to surrender, so Escobedo, Palacios and Garza were taken prisoner and taken to Mexico City to be imprisoned in the fortress of Santiago Tlatelolco, from where they were released after a few months.
