Excerpt from Argentine: Past, Present and Future; A Lecture

History of South America Frequently the Indian tribes attempted to th1ow off the yoke of some more than usually severe and cruel oppress01. In the early days of the 18th century the 1evola tion of the tupac-amaré was really a war of races rather than a political revolution, as it had for its principal purpose the extermination of the Spanish. In Venezuela in 1711 this same hatred showed it self in the proclamation of a Mulatto as King of the Mestizos. Half a century later the seed sown by Antequera bore fruit in New Granada, when an army of was raised and commanded by Berber.

It is a significant and curious fact in the history of South America that, during the entire 18th cen tury, the same causes were producing the same effects among people far separated from each other and of a character entirely distinct, scattered from the banks of the Paraguay River to the Colombian Mountains.
