ResumoThis article analyzes the intense controversy generated by the coup d’etatgiven by President Ignacio Comonfort and his closest collaborators, on December 17, 1857. The objective is to review some of the interpretative lines of this failed political movement, which began the so-called War of Reform, facing “liberals” against “con-servatives” for 3 years. Particularly, through archival sources, press and pamphlets, elements are proposed that respond to some of the reasons that protagonists of the event had, specifically Juan José Baz, to convince the President to promote the move-ment and abandon it once initiated.Keywords: Manuel Payno; IgnacIo Comonfort; War of Reform; Mexican liberalIsm; dictatorship
