Política y mitrismo en la Provincia de Corrientes durante la Guerra de la Triple Alianza

Abstract

When the political map of the Argentine Republic was transformed, as a result of the Battle of Pavón (1861), the impacts and influences of Mithraism in the province of Corrientes were decisive. From there, the imprint of the Corrientes liberal sector, which sympathized with Bartolomé Miter, was taking on a greater dimension in the influence of the historical evolution of the moment, reaching one of its culminating points with the Provincial Administrations of José Manuel Pampín and Manuel Ignacio Lagraña in the years 1861-65 and thus continue until the beginning of the War of the Triple Alliance. The article analyzes how the election of an urquicista, in the person of Evaristo López, for the Executive Power, will increase political disputes and, from then on, conflict, both electoral and partisan, will be consolidated, which will have the Mitristas as protagonists, determining the provincial political action in the years that will elapse after the Triple Alliance contest against Paraguay.
