GOMEZ, Fernando D. Religious conflicts and political adhesions in the revolutionary war. The retirement of the auxiliary army of Peru in 1811. Folia [online]. 2015, n.23, pp.219-241. ISSN 0325-8238.

The revolutionary war that followed the creation of the junta de gobierno of Buenos Aires in 1810 confronted armies whose identities cannot be associated to the later national boundaries. These armies appealed to diverse devices in order to generate support. This article deals with this topic considering the religious dimension as a fundamental foundation in the identification the leaders of these armies built for their armies, but also in the symbolic construction of the enemies. Nevertheless, we understand that the implications of those actions and the repercussion of them cannot be analyzed without studying the global performance of the armies, mainly in its relationship with the local communities. These hypothesis nourished from memories of that period, judicial causes, proclamations and other published and unpublished records located in archives of Buenos Aires and Sucre.

Keywords : Revolutionary war; Religious dimension; Political support; Sackings.
