| Summary: | The article gives an account of the importance of military history for the understanding of the insurgency war in New Spain. It highlights the production of sacred oratory through sermons, which propagated the arguments of the "just cause" represented by the armies commanded by General Felix Maria Calleja. To be recognized as the "Liberator of America", it went down in history thanks to the republican civic culture as the most cruel and ruthless bloodthirsty that contained the advance of the insurgent army. The text reviews the main preachers who supported the purposes of Calleja and offers a general reflection on the political use of the forgetfulness of soldiers like Calleja for the formation of a Mexican national identity. |
