The focus is directed at the armed citizens who, after belonging to several corps (militants, guerrillas, national guards), ended up incorporated into a single military force: the liberating army, who played a decisive role in the construction of the State and in the expansion of citizenship, reaffirming a clearly liberal conception of the local society of that time.
