Perez And Kearny

After the independence of Mexico in 1836 the Mexican people dispatched for Albino Perez to be governor of Mexico. To the republic of Mexico Albino was considered an outsider and was not well welcomed, and the following year after Albino issued a new administration, “a group in northern New Mexico issued a proclamation denouncing the new administration”. It turned into a revolt in which Albino was captured and beheaded.        

Ten years later the U.S. declared war on Mexico. Gen. Kearny took Santa Fe which gave him Mexico on August 18, 1846 without any valence. “On September 22, 1846, General Kearny instituted the Kearny Code” a set of new laws for the New Mexican people, and in 1847 there was a another revolt know as "The Revolt of 1847”.
