Abstract
PRADO-ARELLANO, Luis Ervin. Deploying statehood: the republican armies in the province of Cauca, 1832-1855. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.35, pp.149-178. ISSN 0122-8803. https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.35.2019.6.
Recent studies about the 19th century republican forces indicate the importance of their role in the progress towards statehood. This article explores further along the line of said research. It identifies the tasks realized by the standing army and the national guard in the provinces of Cauca in the 1830s through the 1850s. Those activities allowed the notion of State to become more tangible to the men and women inhabiting the region, both in the principal cities and the remote localities distant from political central power.
