This study runs through the economic, politic and cultural frameworks in order to recognize the historic periods in the country in 19th century. Finally, it is discussed the constitution of a incipient cultural-oriented industry, not only since the cultural products like books or newspapers that were made, but also for the impact on the formation of the 19th century regional society.
