Resumen
Nuestro trabajo analiza la transición de las sociedades coloniales americanas a las repúblicas independientes del siglo XIX a partir del estudio de uno de los más poderosos comerciantes españoles rioplatenses: Diego de Agüero. Radicado en Buenos Aires, Agüero fue consignatario de las casas mercantiles de Cádiz, y dirigente del grupo monopolista. Atendiendo a su actuación en el puerto de Montevideo (apelando a los registros de navíos y a su correspondencia), concluimos que las revoluciones de independencia impactaron de manera diferente sobre el cuerpo mercantil rioplatense. A partir del caso Agüero, sostenemos que el núcleo duro de comerciantes monopolistas no se ha convertido en una clase terrateniente, ni se ha adaptado al nuevo sistema, sino que ha sido derrotado en su intento por sostener el dominio español en América.
This paper analyzes the transition of the American colonial societies to the independent republics of the XIX century. We based on the study of one of the most powerful Spa nish merchants in River Plate: Diego de Agüero. Located in Buenos Aires. Agüero was consignee of the Cadiz merchant houses and leader of the monopolist group. Considering his activities in Montevideo port (in concordance with ship registration and with his correspondence). We conclude that the independence revolutions impacted differently on Río de la Plata commercial sector. According to Agüero case. We state that the most important monopolist merchants have not "become" in a landowner class. and have not "adapted" to the new system. In fact, they were defeat- ed in their attempt to hold the Spanish domain in America.
