Notes: Political activity in New Mexico, at the time the oldest province in the Spanish borderlands, between 1772 and 1821.  The governor and his roles, financial activities, military organization, and local (municipal and district) governments.  Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821, so New Mexico became a Mexican province, and its financial and political focus gradually turned toward the United States (think Santa Fe Trail).
