The Lerdista Uprising of 1878 was a military uprising between the Government of General Porfirio Díaz against the Lerdista Group supporters commanded by General Mariano Escobedo and Lorenzo Garza.

In the first months of 1878, there were some seditious movements in favor of the Lerdista cause and a force led by General Mariano Escobedo appeared on the northern border. From May 18, 1878, he spoke out from his exile in New York and carried out a military uprising that broke out on July 19.^[3][2]
