Cornelio Saavedra was a military man, born to a noble family in 1761 in Potosí (then part of the Viceroyalty Of The Río De La Plata , now Bolivia ), died in Buenos Aires in 1829 . He was the chief the Patricios Regiment, which repelled the Second British Invasion of Buenos Aires. He participated in the May Revolution which, in 1810 , took the first step in the independence of Argentina from Spain , and he was twice the leader of the new government juntas. Saavedra's conservatism clashed with the liberal ideas of Mariano Moreno , who in 1814 accused him of conspiracy, forcing him to flee to Chile , whence he returned two years later. REFERENCE
