Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera , 1798-1878, Colombian general and president. He first gained attention by his service in the war against Spain. As president (1845-49), he began as a conservative but became more liberal, sponsoring numerous reforms and encouraging the nation's material growth. After the conservatives gained control in 1856, Mosquera led a successful revolt (1860-62) that resulted (1863) in a federalist United States of Colombia. He served as provisional president until 1864. Domineering, unscrupulous, and violently emotional, he was feared and mistrusted even by his adherents, but he was, nonetheless, a vigorous leader. Although again elected (1866) president, he was imprisoned (1867), tried, and banished. He went to Peru, but returned later to become governor and senator of Cauca.
