From rebel to seditious. Political culture in the new great in the first half of XIX century

Abstract

This article discusses the transition of government since the dissolution of Colombia and the first years of the New Granada from the speeches and Bolivarian Santanderists factions created to point to his political opponents. Creating an atmosphere of suspicion in which swarmed the charges of rebellion or sedition as a political weapon to justify the expulsion or execution of opponents. The source we use are legal proceedings against conspirators and rebels. The hypothesis here is that we maintain this strategy allowed the faction that was in the government to seize the office and those who were outside it, as a measure of constraint on the government to keep alive the threat of a supposed war race.
