Disentailment was a massive transfer of property that mainly benefited the middle and upper echelons of the bourgeoisie at the expense of the clergy and a large sector of the poor that relied on social services and education provided by the Church. Arrom finds that although bringing charitable institutions under direct state control was a centerpiece of the liberal Reform, the disentailment of corporate properties mandated by the 1856 Lerdo Law brought financial ruin on the Poor House. The disentailment of private, church and common lands, which began in the 1790s and continued sporadically (sometimes convulsively) for nearly a century, merely consolidated the existing patterns of land ownership or domination, rather than creating a new and innovative bourgeois agriculture. |
