Summary: | The change of the old regimen to the independence and revolution process caused the final re-orientation on the economical context -in the Case of Rio de la Plata – of the trade flows to the Atlantic. The Gallegos traders who settled down, by the end of the XVIII century, adapted to this new situation by means of the implementation of different economic and social revolution strategies. Because of this fact, the objective of this research paper is to analyze this historical period from the perspective of a peninsular Spanish social group: The Posse, who went through this revolutionary period – with some difficulties – thanks to the economic and family links, were established since their arrival to the Viceroyalty of Río de La Plata in 1780.
