Liberal Revolution of 1854
The Liberal Revolution of 1854 (Spanish: Revolución Liberal de 1854), also known as the Arequipa Revolution of 1854 (Spanish: Revolución de Arequipa de 1854), was a popular insurrection that emerged in Peru during the government of José Rufino Echenique due to accusations of corruption. It was led by Domingo Elías, Fermín del Castillo and Ramón Castilla.
In the aftermath of the revolution, a new constitution was written.
At the end of 1853, Domingo Elías had accused President Echenique of being "too generous" in paying the amount of the Consolidation debt for damages to individuals for damages of the War of Independence.
Echenique then ordered the imprisonment of Elías and deported him. However, he then entered Tumbes from Ecuador, where he attempted a failed coup. Avoiding surveillance, he arrived in Ica and organized a group of militiamen to harass the government. Echenique commanded his troops and they fight in the surroundings of Cerro Saraja in a rather bloody battle on 7 January 1854, where about 150 supporters of Elías are killed. At the beginning of 1854, the Indians of Huaras joined the rebellion, demanding the abolition of the indigenous tribute.
The outbreaks of revolution began and in Arequipa, Castilla took over the insurrection. He arrived on 13 February to the acclamation of the people. Echenique sent his troops to the south, but Castilla defended the city with fewer men. At the end of March, Castilla moved to Cusco. On 14 April he received the announcement that the Revolutionary Junta of Arequipa has proclaimed him Provisional President. With a formed army he arrived in Andahuaylas on 8 June, and on the 23rd he met in Bombón with General Del Castillo's division. On 3 July he occupied Huamanga, escorted by the famous "Morochucos".
Despite the fact that the country now had two presidents, Castilla issued on 5 July the historic decree abolishing the indigenous tribute, which gave his revolution a social character.
Domingo Elías returned to the country, prompting the government to send troops against him and to attempt an unsuccessful defense of the plaza of Arica. On the other hand, Vivanco, since his exile in Chile, returned, but did not participate as he felt "marginalized" by Castilla. From Huamanga, the latter traced his final strategy.
Echenique advanced towards Jauja and thought to have attacked Castilla in Huancayo, but he could not defeat General Izcuchaca's troops in Huancavelica. So he occupied the Mantaro Valley, while Castilla campsed in a poor region and decides to go to the heights to threaten Lima and attempt force Echenique's return. His plan worked. On 3 December in Huancayo, Castilla issued another decree abolishing slavery.
