This text presents the results of an investigation about the compendia of Universal History by Victor Duruy and Pedro Parley, approved and adopted by the Brazilian Imperial State for the teaching of History in secondary schools from 1854 to 1878. During this period, there were the Educational Reforms of Couto Ferraz (1854) and Leôncio de Carvalho (1878). Then, in the context of these Reforms, it is analyzed the role of the Didactic Manuals, in the dissemination of Christianity, the ideal of Nation and of citizenship from the school history. In order to impose political and cultural ideas and precepts, the Imperial State approved the Regulation of Primary and Secondary Education, which was responsible for overseeing and guiding public and private education at the primary and secondary levels, establishing norms for the exercise of freedom of education.

Keywords : Textbook; Christianity in school; Teaching of Ancient History.
