Much of his career was devoted to public administration positions and to helping his country establish a national postal system and railway transportation system. Sarmiento's major contribution to his nation's status came through his contributions during the civil wars between the Unitarian Party and the Federalist Party. As a Unitarian, Sarmiento promoted a strong centralized government similar to that which he admired in the U.S. Sarmiento also worked to develop a national communications (telegraph) system.

Similarities and Differences

Juarez and Sarmiento shared significant fundamental similarities: they both championed the ideas and values introduced by the European Enlightenment and by the economic and political reforms. Both of them were extremely interested in helping improve their respective societies, particularly through the education process. Likewise, they both promoted equal rights of persons and they were both ahead of their time as far as their beliefs about the roles of women in society and the educational opportunities for women.


Juarez and Sarmiento differed mainly in their respective attitudes toward religion. Whereas Juarez was passionately anti-religion, Sarmiento had been raised in a religious Christian family and was much less hostile to religious influence in the human community. While Juarez fought mainly against the concept of foreign-installed monarchies, Sarmiento was heavily involved in the prolonged internal fights between domestic political factions and, before his election to the presidency, served multiple terms of forced exile from Argentina for his published political writings and his involvement in domestic political wars.
