Resumo: The War for Independence brought about popular mobilization in northernArgentina. As the war was waged in the provinces of Salta and Jujuy, ruralpopulation enlisted in militia battalions since 1814. Militia regulationsin the Rio de la Plata area called for the extension of military jurisdiction(fuero) to all soldiers as well as for compensation when mobilized forcombat. Popular mobilization in Northern Rio de la Plata posed a threat toelite power as it challenged long-held hierarchies and patterns of socialdeference dating from colonial times. Actions such as intimidation, seizureof livestock, and land occupations were commonly taken by gauchos andregarded by them as acts of social justice. The elite regarded them asarrogant and violent acts aimed at curtailing their power and strip themfrom their property and power.

Logo que a guerra foi travada nas províncias de Salta eJujuy, a população rural se alistou em batalhões da milícia desde 1814.Os regulamentos das milícias no Rio da Prata conclamaram na extensãoda jurisdição militar (Fuero) seus soldados, e também uma compensaçãopela sua mobilização para o combate. A mobilização popular no norte deRio de Prata representou uma ameaça ao poder da elite à medida em quedesafiava hierarquias e padrões sociais estabelecidos de longa data desdeos tempos coloniais. Ações como a intimidação, a apreensão de gado, eas ocupações de terra foram comumente tomadas pelos gaúchos comoatos de justiça social. A elite via-as como atos arrogantes e violentos quevisavam cercear seu poder e tirá-los de propriedade e poder.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2022-01-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/article/view/1322710.1590/2236-463320151103Almanack; No. 11 (2015)Almanack; Núm. 11 (2015)Almanack; n. 11 (2015)2236-4633reponame:Almanack (Guarulhos)instname:Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)instacron:UNIFESPenghttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/article/view/13227/9254Copyright (c) 2022 Gustavo L.
