The McLane-Ocampo Treaty (formally the Treaty of Transit and Commerce), negotiated on 1859 in [[Veracruz]], could be the only important mistake in Juárez' government. Fortunately it was never ratified by the US Senate.

Juárez was a Mason since 1845, member of the National Mexican Rite; he spoke of the law as "my sword and my shield." ''Much as [[George Washington]] was a redeemer from the tyranny of England, so Benito Juárez accomplished the final emancipation from the colonial age. [[Freemasonry| Masonry]] was the vehicle enabling these men to bring about freedom and independence.'' (1).
