MARTINEZ CORONEL, Andrea Alejandra e GONZALEZ FLORES, José Gustavo. The Epidemic of Fevers (Typhus) of 1814 in the Tlaxcalan Indian Villages of Northeastern Nueva España. Front. hist. [online]. 2024, vol.29, n.1, pp.159-181. Epub 01-Jan-2024. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.2565.
This article analyzes the impact of the 1814 epidemic of fevers or typhus in the Tlaxcalan Indian villages of the northeast, in the cases of San Esteban, Santa María de las Parras, San Francisco de Tlaxcala, San Miguel de Aguayo, and El Álamo. This epidemic was one of the deadliest ever recorded, compared to other cases in the northeast. Due to its intensity, it was one of the factors that diminished the population of the Tlaxcalan villages and helped to dilute their identity, coupled with the Gaditan liberalism, which was making the system of estates and privileges obsolete for the sake of equality before the law.
