The new order that tries to emerge from 1810 in el Virreinato de la Nueva Granada, carries confrontations, even armed confrontations, and cashes between provinces, cities, towns, villages, and localities. Most of these made part of the antagonims that were inherited from the ancient colonial regime and which reflect the different economical, territorial and political interests of the elites that were expressed in the cabildos . These rivalrys show up a lack of political communities that could go beyond the territory, and the fragmentation of some elites which could not achieve a political hegemony able to surpass the borders of their city or village. Moreover, the interests of the different social actors are shown in these oppositions which make more noticeable their ethnical, cultural, politic al and economical contradictions. The way how the events are developed in Cartagena and Santa Marta provinces, will help us to understand how complex and difficult is to built national unity in territories that although they made up an administrative colonial unit, El Virreinato, their market, territorial, political, ethnical, and cultural relationships were fragile and even nonexistent.
