¿SOSPECHOSO Y ENEMIGO DE LA CAUSA? EL CASO DEL TENIENTE TESORERO DE TUCUMÁN, 1810-1812.

In this paper, based on the analysis of specific events in which the lieutenant treasurer of San Miguel de Tucumán, Manuel Antonio Pereyra was involved, we intend to investigate the conflictive relationship of this treasury official with other government agencies and members of the army during the revolutionary process and how he adapted to the new context. We ask what interests, perceptions and support he may have had about May's events, the war, and his expectations of an open ending. The aim is to analyze the behaviour of this crown' representant in the face of the unprecedented events of May to understand how the members of the Treasury reacted to the process and what place they had to occupy.
