Dorrego handbook

Manuel Dorrego was a soldier and Argentinian politician , one of the principal partisans of the federalism within the Plain Provinces of Río of Plata, during first half of the XIXe century. It was born the June 11th 1787 with Buenos Aires. Wire of the Portuguese tradesman, Jose Antonio C Rego and of his María wife of Ascensión Salted, it was the junior by five brothers. In 1803 it entered in Real Colegio de San Carlos.

It distinga as soldier while enlisting in the Army of North directed by Manual Belgrano. In spite of its value, it had problems for indiscipline. Thus San Martín punishes it to have lack of respect with Belgrano, which was worth to him to be able to take part in the last battles. It was the time when Libertador went on the Chile to the head of the Armée with the Andes.

When began openly the conflict between federalists and unit, it was under the orders of the Directory (unit) fighting against the federalistic caudillos or war leaders, beating initially Fernando Otorgués in Marmarajá on October 14th, 1814. Shortly after it was beaten by one of the lieutenants of this last, Fructuoso Rivera with the Bataille of Guayabos, on January 10th, 1815. The participation in the conflict which affected the Plain Provinces of Río of Plata, however, made it approach the ideas of Jose Gervasio Artigas. Its adhesion with the federalism was transformed into full conviction when it had to be briefly exiled with the the United States.

Thus in 1824 it is noticed for its federalistic ideas in Buenos Aires (something of unusual fort in this city at the time), proposing the autonomy of Buenos Aires in equal conditions that other provinces of the country. Dorrego, unlike the unit ones of the city, incarnated the interests of the population of the Gaúcho S of the province. He was thus opposed to the centralist policy of the president Bernardino Rivadavia.

At the end of 1824 it was one of the principal promoters of the release campaign of the Eastern Treinta there Tres.
He was elected representing province of Santiago del Estero with the first Argentinian National congress. By its speeches, it had a strong influence on the crisis which culminated with the resignation of Rivadavia of the presidency of the Nation.

A little later he was elected governor of Buenos Aires, in August 1827. Little before a peace treaty had been signed by the envoy Rivadavia, Manuel García, with the Brésil. This treaty which transformed in a surprising way the military victories Argentinas into a diplomatic victory of Brazil, was a heritage that Dorrego tried to surmount. For that, as controlling principal Linked Provinces, it tried to quickly finish the argentino-Brazilian war by daring operations.

With this intention, it sent the governor of Santa Fe, Estanislao López, for the release of the Eastern Missions in order to dislodge the Brazilian ones, benches with Porto Alegre. In the same way he arrived to as a German mercenary of the name of Friedrich Bauer cease to be with the service of Brazil and tries to create a republic in the Santa Catarina.

Dorrego also came into contact with the main leaders of the Rio Grande C Brazilian Sul: Bento Gonçalves da Silva and Manual Bento Riveiro so that they create the République of San Pedro del Río Grande, but English pressure (exerted directly by the envoy Lord Ponsonby and by military direct actions of vessels of the the United Kingdom against Argentinian boats, forced Dorrego to accept most of what had been before signed by García, with this moreover: the creation and thus the loss of Eastern Republic of Uruguay. This loss facilitated a conspiracy on behalf of the unit ones. Dorrego was deposited and captured by Juan Lavalle, which summarily and without lawsuit made it shoot in Navarro the December 13rd 1828.
