Abstract
In the last decades, the Latin American historiography has analysed the building of national states, calling into question the idea that their existence was due to the first independence movements. From this perspective, we want to consider the independence war in the Intendencia de Salta del Tucuman and the actions took by its governor, Martin Miguel de Guemes, in the context of the independence war in South America, paying special attention to the economic and social insertion of the region of Salta and Jujuy into the South Andean space, and the social tensions arising from the social insurgence and mobilization. We want to show how - during the turbulent period of the independence struggles - the local power is legitimised by political alliances of the leading elite - between Buenos Aires and Alto Peru - as well as by the emergence of local leaders who articulate the popular mobilizations in the revolutionary political proposals.
