Barcala Lorenzo (1793 in Mendoza, Argentina – 1835 in Mendoza, August), was an Argentine military commander who participated in the Argentine civil wars on the side of the Unitarian Party, and one of the few black soldiers to reach the rank of colonel in that country. ==Early military career== The son of slaves, he was also a slave during his childhood. He was released by the governor of Cuyo, General José de San Martín, but for unknown reasons did not join the Army of the Andes. He began his military career in 1818 as a soldier of the Regiment of ''Pardos'' ("mulattoes"). In 1820 he participated in the turmoil produced by the so-called ''Anarquía del año 20'', which had one of its epicenters in Cuyo. He was part of the army of General Bruno Moron, who fought against Chilean General José Miguel Carrera, and after the death of Moron, fought in the battle of Punta del Medano orders of José Albino Gutierrez. In 1824 he participated in a failed attempt against Governor Gutierrez, and he fled to San Juan. Back in Mendoza, he joined Colonel Juan Lavalle's forces, who led a second uprising against Gutierrez, this time successful. Shortly afterwards he took part under the command of José Félix Aldao in the suppression of the "ecclesiastical" revolution in San Juan and the overthrow of governor Salvador María del Carril. In 1826 Barcala joined the army that fought in the War of Brazil under the command of Colonel Ramon Bernabe Estomba and was taken prisoner. Spent several months in a prison in Rio de Janeiro, with the constant threat of being sold as a slave until he was released in a prisoner exchange. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lorenzo Barcala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
