"Regenerados" wanted protectionism and needed people to support them. Thanks to this the beer, chocolate, and pasta industries rose up.
Coffees exportation in the first 3 decades of the 20th century was a success of profits
Parcería:
was a system of tax authorities, in which the servant could live in the landowner`s land and harvest their food but could not plant coffee or anything that meant a competence for the landowner. This was a way to attatch the workers to the land.

Rented the land for themto produce and earn money that way
1890 -1930:
Antioquia, Tolima, Cauca and Valle were dedicated to harvest coffee. Production went from 5% to 60%
Coffee bussine grew so they invented pulpers, threshers and dryers. This enriched comerciants, intermediaries, muleteers, threshers, commission agents, and exporters. Even campesinos were consumers and this stimulated the production oflocal goods.

CONFLICT
There weren't rights for the opposition, and separating liberals from any legal action wasn't smart if rights were what they wanted.
A lot of civil wars started because people didn't trust the government
Changing parties was seen as corruption, treason, and cowardliness
Conservatives had a little of power during the liberal regime. But when they had the complete power again they neglected liberals completely.
National culture was lost, Colombia became a very divided country because of racism.
"Guerra de Los 1000 días" 1899-1902:
Government was separated because the national party believed that they had to erase all liberal thoughts. But the historical conservatives thought that politics should be more flexible
"Guerra de los 1000 días":
Departments like Cauca and the Atlantic cost wanted to go to war because they were against the government. It finally ended thanks to the treaty of Neerlandia and Wisconsin.

the historians took the power, but nothing changed and the war continued.
After the trade a lot of laws were ignored and both partied applied cruel tactics.
