JURADO JURADO, Juan Carlos. REGION AND VIOLENCE IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1851. anal.polit. [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.84, pp.76-101. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v28n84.54640.
Notwithstanding that war means death and destruction, it also entails the construction of new social and political orders, consisting in the definition of regional identities, territories, borders, and sovereignties, as well as modern political institutions. In accordance with this, the 1851 Civil War is addressed as an element that made visible the differentiation and delimitation among regions of the New Granada, particularly Cauca and Antioquia, from representations and imaginaries that it provoked on their identities. This paper also presents how the war made emerge into the national scene the process of configuration of the regional identities, their federalist orientation, and the assassinations of prominent conservatives in Cartago, amid the violence of the liberal mob against the conservatives -a way to settle the debts of the prior War of the Supremes (1839-1842). These facts expressed a memory of the past that was politicized and thereby the inherited hatreds served to link a war with another in the process of construction of the nation.
