Lucas Ignacio Alamán y Escalada Alamán studied at the Real Colegio de Minas de la Nueva España in the Viceroyalty of New Spain colonial México. He frequently traveled on his credentials as a scientist and diplomat becoming one of the most educated men in Mexico. At the outset of the war for Mexican independence in September 1810 Alamán is said to have been an eyewitness of the massacre of Spanish families in his home city of Guanajuato. This experience may have influenced his lifelong devotion to conservative politics and his nostalgia for monarchic rule for Mexico. For most of the 1840s he devoted himself primarily to writing the history of Mexico from the perspective of a conservative. His three-volume work Disertaciones sobre la Historia de la Republica mexicana Mexico 1844–1849 and his five-volume Historia de México desde los primeros movimientos que prepararon su independencia en el año de 1808 hasta la época presenteMexico 1849–1852 stand as the major intellectual productions of the Conservative Party in nineteenth-century Mexico and the only histories produced by a Mexican author of his era to view the Spanish presence in his country favorably.
