In the late eighteenth century is presented in Spain a change in the royal family because in the war of succession trump the interests of the Bourbons over the Hapsburgs which represents a change not only in the royal dynasties but in the economic Conception that must govern the Spanish colonies. The Habsburgs considered its overseas possessions as kingdoms while the Bourbons will incorporate the concept of colonies, a concept that will bring a new economic concept that can be summarized by saying that the overseas possessions must be economically profitable for the Kingdom.This new concept leads to implement new administrative structures and a tax regime that will be very costly for all socioeconomic groups who inhabited the Hispanic America, which will lead to confrontations between local groups and the authorities, those confrontations will become a widespread movement against the mandates of the Spanish Crown. Among these uprisings we should consider the events in the province of Antioquia in 1781, because it is not a confrontation against the central power, but a confrontation between different socioeconomic groups that inhabited the region.
