Resumen
KUHN, Fábio. A frontier on convulsion: Rio Grande de São Pedro and the Eastern Band during the government of Don Diogo de Souza (1809-1814). Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.1, pp.127-139. ISSN 1852-9615.
Don Diogo Martim de Souza Teles de Menezes, governor and captain general of the captaincy of Rio Grande do Sul between 1809 and 1814, administered a frontier that came into turmoil after the events of May 1810. The period of his rule was marked by the rise of Artigas in the Banda Oriental, which raised a number of challenges for Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian elites established in Rio Grande de São Pedro. After the transfer of the Court of King João to Brazil in 1808, the Lusitanian revalued the importance of the captaincy of Rio Grande do Sul because of its border enclave and importance to the expansionist policy in the region cisplatin. In this paper, we address concerns related to the portuguese intervention in the Banda Oriental in 1811-1812, which had as one of his executors the governor said. We also investigate, albeit incidental, the increased slave trade to the captaincy of Rio Grande and into the region cisplatin region, which seems to have energized during the administration of Don Diogo de Souza.
