Biographical / Historical
Juan José Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza (1754-1835) was appointed as viceroy of New Spain, a jurisdiction which now covers most of modern-day Mexico, Southwestern United States, Central America and islands in the area, and parts of South America in September 1816. During this time, independence movements were spreading throughout New Spain territories as frustration with oversees governance peaked. Ruiz garnered political favor by pardoning government fighters and previously imprisoned persons and by commuting the death sentence for any rebels who had not yet been captured. Ruiz also balanced public debt, restricted revenues and taxes, and revitalized trade.
After the Liberal Revolution in Spain in 1820, the constitutional provinces of 1812 were reestablished in New Spain. The viceroy of New Spain's jurisdictional power was restricted, and Ruiz was left in charge of a smaller province of New Spain.
