Negoció y firmó el Tratado de Wiscounsin, con el cual se dio por terminadas las hostilidades. Pese a ser liberal, Herrera se asoció con colegas conservadores como Carlos Eugenio Restrepo y Nicolás Esguerra para fundar una coalición conocida como Unión Republicana. El proyecto pronto siguió creciendo, adhiriendo militares, políticos y empresarios de renombre. Con ese partido Herrera buscaba la pacificación del país y la armonía entre los partidos tradicionales. Herrera fue nombrado ministro de Agricultura y Comercio por el presidente conservador José Vicente Concha, en plena I Guerra Mundial. Luego fue candidato a la presidencia de la República de Colombia en 1922, perdiendo contra su rival de guerra Pedro Nel Ospina. Fue cofundador junto con Rafael Uribe Uribe de la Universidad Libre, en la que promovió los valores laicales y librepensadores de su partido, pero también en la formación crítica de sus alumnos.​ Es considerado uno de los militares más brillantes de la historia de Colombia y uno de los pensadores liberales claves del país.​​ (es)
