Scope and Content Note
Topics referred to in these broadsides include invasions by Spain,
France and the United States of America; mobilization for wars, including the
Mexican American War; soldiers; elections; government positions; decretos
(decrees); courts; prisoners; and financial issues, such as taxes, budgets, and
customs. Often the broadsides in the individual state folders contain
information from the federal government which the governor of the state
released and signed. Some documents refer to the political conflicts between
those who supported the Roman Catholic Church and those who advocated rigorous
anti-clericalism. Also included are specific Plans, a 19th century aspect of
Mexican political culture whereby a military or political leader would publish
a Plan, usually named after where it was issued, and wait to see how many other
political and military leaders would support it.
