Resumen
GUZMAN PEREZ, MOISÉS. War practice in the new Spain revolution: the "guerrilla" of padre José Antonio Torres, 1814-1818. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.36, pp.169-204. Epub 02-Jul-2021. ISSN 0122-8803. https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.36.2020.8.
The purpose of this article is to rebuild the individual profile and the politic activism of José Antonio Torres in the revolution of New Spain. We also analyze the conformation, structure and behavior of Torres' "guerrilla" in combat. The objective is to overcome the biased and traditional vision that prevails in the academic historiography, which considers Pedro Moreno and Xavier Mina as main leaders (caudillos) of the resistance at the Bajío, when actually the main command was in power of priest Torres. We also reveal the operative variables of irregular war and the political project which insurgents wanted to defend.
