| description | The rebels’ justification discourse was built based on a triad: respect of monarchical dominion, defense of religion, and hatred of Gachupines / defense of the fatherland. The latter element distinguished the rebellion, since the royalists could not turn to it. Moreover, it was a concrete feeling that turned a specific group into the scapegoat for every misfortune in the world, as Furet would say. In this way, a convenient enemy was created, an enemy to blame, to fight, and who allowed the construction of an effective defensive ideology that would lay the foundations for the incipient Mexican nationalism, as Brading indicated. Thus, rebel violence not only found its object of hostility par excellence, but also its justification: while an antigachupín imaginary was being built, expressed in edicts, proclamations and manifests, a violence materialized in murder, ransacking, and destruction appeared here and there. The insurgent antigachupinismo revealed very interesting aspects of a social and cultural history of the war of independence —a kind of small scale French terror deployed at times by the insurgency, or the relationship between rumors and violence—, which will be discussed in this paper. |

El discurso justificativo de los rebeldes se construyó sobre una tríada: el respeto al dominio monárquico, la defensa de la religión y el odio al gachupín/defensa de la patria. Esta última bandera distinguió a la rebelión, pues el partido realista no podía hacerla suya. Se trataba además de una bandera concreta, que encontró en un grupo específico al chivo expiatorio de las desdichas del mundo, como diría Furet. Se inventó así un enemigo a modo a quien culpar, contra quien combatir, y en cuyo combate se pudo construir una efectiva ideología defensiva, que por lo demás pondría las bases del incipiente nacionalismo mexicano como observó hace tiempo Brading. La violencia rebelde encontró, de ese modo, no sólo el objeto por excelencia de la hostilidad, sino su justificación: al mismo tiempo que se trabajaba un imaginario antigachupín, plasmado en bandos, proclamas y manifiestos, surgía aquí y allá una violencia materializada en asesinatos, saqueos y destrucción. El antigachupinismo de la insurgencia reveló así aspectos de sumo interés para una historia social y cultural de la guerra de independencia —una especie de pequeño terror a lo francés que desplegó en ocasiones la insurgencia, o la relación entre rumor y violencia— de los cuales nos ocuparemos en este trabajo.
