Mausoleum of Artigas Montevideo |
...The investigator Carlos Maggi is of the opinions that, the relationship between Artigas with the Indians, blacks, gauchos, etc in his adolescence, establish his spirit. There has been a feedback mix between his roots, his passion, what he reads, the contact with Montevideo’s high society and the contact with the marginalize part of the society . Artigas stands out in the struggles for independence for his democratic and feeling of Americanism willpower. He fought consecutively against the Spanish power, the unitary ones installed at the city of Buenos Aires, the Empire of Portugal and the Empire of Brazil, and led his homeland towards the independence, although this has been in an indirect way. Artigas disappeared from the political life of the region, refugee himself at Paraguay in September 1820. After a long exile, he dies in Paraguay in 1850. The tradition believed that Artigas, being sorry to die, asked for a horse and died like a “gaucho”, mounting on his horseback. Years later, his remains were repatriating; nowadays they rest at Montevideo, in the Mausoleum of the Independence Park while his legacy and memory live in every Uruguayan heart. |
