Abstract

Cartagena de Indias was the first city in Colombia to establish an independent government and the first to convert its province into an independent state. Strong historic connections with African slavery meant that the city and its region had one of the most substantial populations of slaves, free blacks and free coloureds in Colombia, and a history of conflicts associated with slavery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways in which the region’s social composition affected the response, in both city and countryside, to the crisis of the Spanish monarchy between 1808 and 1815.
