Which two groups battled for control of the mexican government after the nation gained independence?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

<u>d)federalists and centralist </u>

Explanation:

The post-independence period of Mexican history was very turbulent and volatile, both politically and economically. In 1833, Valentin Gomez Farias carried out more liberal reforms, which sparked a revolt in conservative circles that led to the dissolution of the first federal republic and the creation of the first centralist republic.

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana proclaimed in 1835 the so-called Seven laws, thus provoking separatist reactions in multiple departments. Separatist uprisings were largely stifled except in Texas, which declared its independence in 1836 and was subsequently annexed by the United States. In 1841, Yucatan also declared its independence. It was not until 1848 that he again became part of the Mexican state.

Second, the Indians, being native, had a better knowledge of the land and its peoples, which made escape/revolt attempts more likely to be successful. Third, in response to debates about Spain and Portugal's treatment of indigenous people, the pope issued a bull in 1531 that banned the enslavement of American Indians.</span>
