Abstract

El Salvador was not immediately the nation that we now know, after the Independence of 1821, it was immersed in the conflicts of the moment: the fleeting Central American Federation, the partisan struggle between liberals and conservatives, and the wars for power were common during the first years of our nation. Initially, there was no freedom of religion, Catholicism was the only religion, rooted in all social, economic and official strata. It was as liberal governments matured and constitutional changes were applied that they provided the right environment for the first missionaries to arrive in our country.
