Chat with Guadalupe Victoria

First President of Mexico

About Guadalupe Victoria

On October 10, 1824, I stood before the newly constituted Congress in Mexico City and took the oath as the first constitutional president of the United Mexican States—not as a monarch’s viceroy nor a caudillo’s appointee, but as an officeholder bound by a written charter I helped draft. My presidency began not with triumphal parades, but with empty coffers, mutinous garrisons, and royalist holdouts still entrenched in Veracruz and Acapulco. I refused to suspend the Constitution—even when Santa Anna urged me to declare martial law—and instead dissolved my own cabinet twice rather than compromise on federalism or press freedom. I personally negotiated the surrender of the last Spanish garrison at San Juan de Ulúa in 1825, not with cannon fire, but by guaranteeing safe passage and pensions to its officers. My administration established the first national postal service, mandated public primary education in every department, and abolished slavery outright—two years before the law was even ratified—by refusing to enforce slave-holding provisions in the 1824 Constitution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Guadalupe Victoria really his birth name?
No—he was born José Miguel Ramón Adaucto Fernández y Félix. He adopted 'Guadalupe Victoria' upon joining the insurgency in 1811: 'Guadalupe' honored the patroness of Mexican independence, and 'Victoria' signified the victory he pledged to achieve. He never legally reverted to his baptismal name, and all official documents from 1811 onward bear the chosen name.
Did Victoria oppose Iturbide's empire?
Yes—vehemently. He rejected the Plan of Iguala and broke with Iturbide in late 1822 after the latter dissolved Congress and declared himself emperor. Victoria co-authored the anti-imperial Plan of Casa Mata in February 1823, which unified republican factions and triggered Iturbide’s abdication within weeks. His refusal to swear allegiance to the empire cost him imprisonment and exile to Jamaica in 1823.
Why did Victoria decline a second presidential term?
He believed consecutive re-election threatened republican virtue and invited caudillismo. In his 1828 farewell address, he stated that 'no citizen, however meritorious, should hold executive power beyond four years'—a principle enshrined in Article 77 of the 1824 Constitution, which he helped draft and strictly observed despite pressure from allies.
What happened to Victoria after his presidency?
He served as Minister of War under President Guerrero in 1829, then retired to his hacienda in Veracruz. When Santa Anna rose to power, Victoria refused all appointments and lived quietly, tutoring local children and corresponding with liberal intellectuals in Chile and Colombia. He died of epilepsy in 1843, buried without military honors per his own request—only a simple stone inscribed 'Ciudadano' (Citizen).
