He was born November 1 1816 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He opposed Francisco Morazán in the conflict over whether to have a Central American state. His good relations with the British helped facilitate the incorporation of the Bay Islands and the La Mosquita region into Honduras. He fought against William Walker, who aspired to conquering Central America.
