Summary
In this chapter, I read the well-known letters exchanged by the main caudillo leaders of the Argentine Federation (Juan Manuel de Rosas, Estanislao López, and Juan Facundo Quiroga) in order to understand the role played by emotions – distrust, rage, friendly affection, and hatred – in defining the meaning of their struggle against the Unitario faction and in shaping their ideas about public opinion, political representation, and Federative government.
