REGENERATION IN COLOMBIA
During the period between 1880 and 1900, successive wars and administrative disorganization left
the country divided. The intensification of the conservative and liberal fighting and civil wars of
1876, 1885, 1895 and finally 1899 war known as the Thousand Days' War, marked the beginning
and end of the period of Colombian history.
By 1886, the political movement of Regeneration, who joined independent liberals and
conservatives, raised the unification of the various political groups around a strong, centralized
state, the Catholic religion as a central instrument of ideological unification and gave way to a
project national as defined in the slogan "One nation, one race, one God."
The Constitution of 1886, which under the idea of Total Regeneration or catastrophe! introduced
reforms in the organization of the state, the economy and education-as well as the signing, in
1887, the Concordat between the Colombian government and the Holy Church -through which is
given control of education to the Catholic Church and the issuance of Law 61 of 1888 or "Law of
Horses" - instrument of repression punishable by imprisonment exile or loss of political rights to
alter the public order, are some of the reforms that were introduced and marked the cultural and
educational development of the country during this period.
The press was privileged for publishing the ideals of regeneration political movement and a space
for public debate between supporters and detractors of this. With regard to education Law 89,
also known as the "Zerda Plan", which regulated legal and normatively education, and established
the basis of a national education system on which the central government had the supreme
inspection and regulation was issued.
By the late XIX century, the country had a relatively large artisan class: about 320 thousand
craftsmen, representing 23% of the active population, concentrated in the departments of
Santander, Boyaca and Cundinamarca. However, expanding exports and increasing imports
accounted for the economic collapse and the gradual disappearance of this relatively large group
of artisans.
With the new century emerged new currents of thought and although the conservative
hegemony, isolation of regions and the prevalence within the country in political and economic
fields, new groups and trends of thought remained made their appearance on the national stage.
With export growth policies that were established at the beginning of the century, the port
received in the early XX century bankers and traders English, French, German, Italian and Catalan,
which permeated the cultural environment of the Colombian Caribbean.
