  • This article explores the evolution of politics and state of the Argentine province of Corrientes during the decades of the 1850ies and 1860ies. The author explores the change in composition of the ruling class. He underlines the importance of these changes in the structure of regional power and describes the incapacity of Corrientes city to dominate the state territory. The paper attempts to analyse the impact of these changes on the tax-system and military power of the province of Corrientes. The economic and political decadence of this province during the second half of the XIXth century appeared also as a result of these changes. The article focuses also on the province's relation with the federal state and the nation's elite. The support by the nation's elite was decisive to consolidate the victory of the new leading group of Corrientes. That alliance was strengthened by the grants of the federal state to the province and the building of new highways enabled by the investments of the nation.
