PREFACE.
As the third greatest of the world’s republics, wherein society and
civilization are displayed under somewhat abnormal aspects, under
aspects at least widely different from those present in other than
Spanish-speaking communities, configurations and climates, races
and race intermixtures, civil and religious polities, and the whole
range of mental and physical environment being in so many respects
exceptional and individual, Mexico presents a study one of the most
interesting and profitable of any among the nations of to-day.
A brilliant though unjust and merciless conquest was followed by
the enforcement of Spain’s institutions upon the survivors, who were
themselves so far advanced in arts, industries, and intellectual
culture as to render such metamorphosis most disastrous. After the
awful success of Cortés, Spain neither exterminated the natives, like
the United States, nor left them in their aboriginal independence, like
the fur-magnates of British America. Aiming at the utmost kindness,
the Spanish government fastened on body and soul the iron fetters
of tyranny and superstition; aiming at liberty and humanity, slavery
and wrong were permitted. With grants of land, grants of men and
women were made. The church fought valiantly against the evils of
the encomienda system, and against the cruelty and injustice
imposed by the colonists upon the natives. There was here little of
that wholesome indifference to the welfare of her colonies later
manifested by England with regard to her settlements in America.
Spain’s American possessions belonged not to the Spanish people
but to the Spanish sovereign; the lands and the people were the
king’s, to be held or disposed of as he should direct. Hence among
the people were encouraged dividing castes; commerce was placed
under the severest restrictions, and in many ways it became clear
that provinces were held and governed almost exclusively for the
benefit of the crown. And so they remained, Europeans and
Americans intermingling their loves and hates for three hundred
years, which was indeed Mexico’s dark age, two civilizations being
well nigh crushed therein. Light at last breaking in upon the people,
the three centuries of viceregal rule were brought to a close by their
taking a stand for independence, such as their Anglo-American
neighbor had so recently achieved. And now during these latter days
of swift progression Mexico is happily aroused from her lethargy, and
is taking her proper place among the enlightened nations of the
earth, to the heart-felt joy of all.
The first of the five great periods of Mexican history, embracing
the aboriginal annals of Anáhuac, has been exhaustively treated in
the fifth volume of my Native Races. The second is that of the
conquest by Cortés; the third covers nearly three centuries of
viceregal rule in New Spain; the fourth comprises the struggle for
independence and the founding of the republic; and the fifth extends
thence to the present time, including as salient features a series of
internal revolutions, the war with the United States, the imperial
experiment of Maximilian, and the peaceful development of national
industries and power in recent years. It is my purpose to present on
a national scale, and in a space symmetrically proportioned to the
importance of each, the record of the four successive periods.
The conquest of Mexico, filling the present and part of another
volume, has been treated by many writers, and in a masterly
manner. In the three periods of Mexican history following the
conquest there is no comprehensive work extant in English; nor is
there any such work in Spanish that if translated would prove entirely
satisfactory to English readers. Of the few Spanish and Mexican
writers whose researches have extended over the whole field, or
large portions of it, none have been conspicuously successful in
freeing themselves from the quicksands of race prejudice, of
religious feeling, of patriotic impulse, of political partisanship; none
have had a satisfactory command of existing authorities; none in the
matter of space have made a symmetrical division of the periods, or
have appreciated the relative importance of different topics as they
appear to any but Spanish eyes. Yet there has been no lack among
these writers of careful investigation or brilliant diction. Indeed there
is hardly an epoch that has not been ably treated from various
partisan standpoints.
The list of authorities prefixed to this volume shows
approximately my resources for writing a History of Mexico. I may
add that no part of my collection is more satisfactorily complete than
that pertaining to Mexico. I have all the standard histories and
printed chronicles of the earliest times, together with all the works of
writers who have extended their investigations to the events and
developments of later years. On the shelves of my Library are found
the various Colecciones de Documentos, filled with precious
historical papers from the Spanish and Mexican archives, all that
were consulted in manuscript by Robertson, Prescott, and other able
writers, with thousands equally important that were unknown to
them. My store of manuscript material is rich both in originals and
copies, including the treasures secured during a long experience by
such collectors as José María Andrade and José Fernando Ramirez;
a copy of the famous Archivo General de Mexico, in thirty-two
volumes; the autograph originals of Cárlos María Bustamante’s
historical writings, in about fifty volumes, containing much not found
in his printed works; the original records of the earliest Mexican
councils of the church, with many ecclesiastical and missionary
chronicles not extant in print; and finally a large amount of copied
material on special topics drawn from different archives expressly for
my work.
Documents printed by the Mexican government, including the
regular memorias and other reports of different departments and
officials, constitute a most valuable source of information. Partisan
writings and political pamphlets are a noticeable feature of Mexican
historical literature, indispensable to the historian who would study
both sides of every question. Prominent Mexicans have formed
collections of such works, a dozen of which I have united in one,
making two hundred and eighteen volumes of Papeles Varios, some
five thousand pamphlets, besides nearly as many more collected by
my own efforts. The newspapers of a country cannot be disregarded,
and my collection is not deficient in this class of data, being
particularly rich in official periodicals.
The conquest of Mexico, which begins this history, has the
peculiar attractions of forming the grandest episode in early
American annals from a military point of view, and in opening to the
world the richest, most populous, and most civilized country on the
northern continent, and of gradually incorporating it in the sisterhood
of nations as the foremost representative of Latin-American states.
On the other hand, an episode which presents but a continuation of
the bloody path which marked the advance of the conquerors in
America, and which involved the destruction not only of thousands of
unoffending peoples but of a most fair and hopeful culture, is not in
its results the most pleasing of pictures. But neither in this pit of
Acheron nor in that garden of Hesperides may we expect to discover
the full significance of omnipotent intention. From the perpetual
snow-cap springs the imperceptibly moving glacier. A grain of sand
gives no conception of the earth, nor a drop of water of the sea, nor
the soft breathing of an infant of a hurricane; yet worlds are made of
atoms, and seas of drops of water, and storms of angry air-breaths.
Though modern Mexico can boast a century more of history than the
northern nations of America, as compared with the illimitable future
her past is but a point of time.
