What was the social makeup of the forces of the United Provinces during the Argentine war of independence?
Post Body
I'm trying to figure out how much the social makeup of the Chilean patriotic forces between 1812 and 1815 resembled that of their neighbours. It appears that the Chilean forces were mostly made up of poor peasants, essentially forced into battle by their landowners, aristocrats and professional soldiers. Were the rates of desertion as high in the United Provinces as in Chile? Were there large scale defections to the Royalist side?
