|
Manuel José Arce was the son of Spaniard Bernardo José de Arce, the Colonial Intendent of the Province of San Salvador from 1800 until 1801, and Antonia Fagoaga.

He was born in what is now El Salvador.

In 1801 he was sent to Guatemala to continue his education.

There he graduated in philosophy from the Colegio de San Francisco Borja.

He began the study of medicine at the Universidad de San Carlos de Borromeo, but it was interrupted because of his father's sickness.

Arce joined the movement for independence from Spain, joining in the first "Cry for Independence" on November 5, 1811 in San Salvador.
|
It was led by his uncle, Jose Matias Delgado, the vicar of San Salvador.
|
The rebels held the government for nearly a month before royal authority was restored from Guatemala.
|
Arce was also involved in the second uprising that began January 22, 1814.
|
This cost him four years in prison.
|
He strongly opposed the Mexican Empire of Agustín de Iturbide.
|
In April 1822 Manuel Arzú, in command of Guatemalan troops supporting Mexico, occupied the cities of Santa Ana, El Salvador, and Sonsonate.

On June 3, 1822, Arzú entered San Salvador, reaching the Plaza Mayor.

During this time the government succeeded in pacifying Nicaragua, with a minimum of violence.

Presidential elections were held in 1825, and José Cecilio del Valle won the most votes.

They chose Arce as president.

He served from April 29, 1825 to April 13, 1829.
|
He soon lost the support of the Liberals in Congress.
|
After 1826 neither house of the federal Congress met.

Arce obtained some support from the clergy and the Conservative Party, but there were difficulties with the State of Guatemala.
|
He deposed the Guatemalan state governor, Juan Barrundia, a Liberal, and replaced him.

The Salvadoran state government was angry and rebelled, and a civil war started that lasted from 1826 to 1829.
