In the construction of the mining moderate identity, basic for its hegemony composition, its delimitation by the elements that were potentially dangerous to it or that were opposed to it was inestimable. Among them we point out the exalted liberalism, which was essentially an absence. This, however, counted on the liberal-moderate pedagogy contribution, which has classified it as violent and irrational, passionate, revengeful and ambitious, in opposition to the moderate reason, and vehicle of a bloody revolution, involving color people, incautious ones and ignorants. Thus, interpreting and influencing the productive mining society, the moderate-liberal ones could isolate the "exalted virus", imposing its logic and exercising its hegemony.
