About Melchor Ocampo
- Melchor Ocampo (5 January 1814, Maravatío, Kingdom of Mexico, New Spain – 3 June 1861, Tepeji del Río, Hidalgo) was a mestizo by birth, a radical liberal Mexican lawyer, scientist, and politician.
- He was fiercely anticlerical, perhaps an atheist, and his early writings against Roman Catholic Church in Mexico gained him a reputation as an articulate liberal ideologue.
- Ocampo has been considered the heir to José María Luis Mora, the premier liberal intellectual of the early republic.
- He served in the administration of Benito Juárez and negotiated a controversial agreement with the United States, the McLane-Ocampo Treaty.
- The Mexican state where his hometown of Maravatío now stands was much later renamed Michoacán de Ocampo in his honor.
