GUTIERREZ ARDILA, Daniel. The complaints of Mompox: strategic subordination, raise of provincial council and historiographic invention of absolute independence, 1805-1811. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2012, n.23, pp.111-146. ISSN 0121-8417.

The New Granadan revolution is no more than the sum of local revolutions and these answered, each in its own way, to a particular configuration of the crisis of the monarchy. Every place's own specifics (geography, economic interests, their recent past, the behavior of the royal functionaries) each played a key role in the definition of the contours of the political transformation in each of the villages of the viceroyalty. When exploring the case of Mompox, this article is written to understand the way in which local circumstances conditioned the reading of european events. First I intend to analyze methodically the situation of the town in the last years of the colonial regime and the particular features of the 1810 break up. Then I will examine the persistent myth of absolute independence declaration in order to prove its falsity with decisive documents.

Palabras clave : Mompox; Independence revolution; Vicente Talledo.
