He played a decisive role in the Primera Junta, the first national government of Argentina, created after the May Revolution.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreno was born in Buenos Aires in 1778. His father was Manuel Moreno y Argumosa, born in Santander, Spain, who arrived in the city in 1776 and married María del Valle. Mariano was the firstborn of the Moreno family, with thirteen brothers. During his youth he studied Latin, logic and philosophy at San Carlos Royal College, followed by college studies of law at the University of Chuquisaca. During these studies, he learned the new ideas of the Spanish Enlightenment. He married María Guadalupe Cuenca and returned to Buenos Aires, becoming a prominent lawyer for the Cabildo. Unlike most other criollos, he rejected the Carlotist project and the administration of Santiago de Liniers, joining instead the ill-fated mutiny of Álzaga against him. He worked for the following viceroy, Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros. He wrote the economic paper The Representation of the Hacendados, which persuaded the viceroy to open the trade with Britain.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough he was not prominently involved in the May Revolution that deposed Cisneros, he was appointed as secretary of war of the new government, the Primera Junta. Along with Juan José Castelli, he promoted harsh policies against the supporters of the former government and the strengthening of the new one. These policies were detailed at a secret document, the Operations plan, but some historians dispute its authorship. Moreno organized the military campaigns to Paraguay and Upper Peru, and ensured the execution of Santiago de Liniers after the defeat of his counter-revolution. He established the first Argentine newspaper, La Gazeta de Buenos Ayres, and translated Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract to Spanish.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the Junta achieved the first military victories, the President Cornelio Saavedra opposed Moreno, favoring moderated policies instead. Allied with Gregorio Funes, he expanded the number of members of the Junta to leave Morenism in a minority. With disputes still going on, Moreno was appointed to a diplomatic mission to Britain, but died during the journey. His brother would consider he was poisoned. His supporters were still an influential political party for some years after his death. Historians hold several perspectives about the role and historical significance of Moreno, from hagiography to repudiation. He is considered the precursor of Argentine journalism.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Mariano+Moreno","playStationPath":"/stations/117616989/play","stationId":117616989,"bioPath":"/music/Mariano+Moreno/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Terry+Snyder","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/738/7383ed73d8588b50a569770daee899ef_md.jpg","artistName":"Terry Snyder","artistId":8433,"station_id":116178715},{"musicPath":"/music/Chick+Floyd+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c91/c912d8750a92945a1f38a25cbe5eb493_md.jpg","artistName":"Chick Floyd \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":6384,"station_id":251510275},{"musicPath":"/music/Sounds+Orchestral","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/403/403a00f1ad8ad3e9e640da72427020e3_md.jpg","artistName":"Sounds Orchestral","artistId":137482,"station_id":286730409},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Mantovani+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/055/05575fd884403c175e0e895f8ed36441_md.jpg","artistName":"The Mantovani Orchestra","artistId":9970,"station_id":113315112},{"musicPath":"/music/Edmundo+Ros","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/30b/30b9e76ffcd61c2e36b14f5f0c1eae98_md.jpg","artistName":"Edmundo Ros","artistId":8865,"station_id":116958614},{"musicPath":"/music/Jack+Fascinato","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8aa/8aab0108aae2a80d8b17a57cb4e97c1f_md.jpg","artistName":"Jack Fascinato","artistId":6406,"station_id":114077658},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Hollyridge+Strings","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c17/c17513ef400af35e34354f43b583e176_md.jpg","artistName":"The Hollyridge Strings","artistId":8307,"station_id":115003819},{"musicPath":"/music/Sam+Butera","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6d5/6d528610287893f62326b96e99d0945c_md.jpg","artistName":"Sam Butera","artistId":8440,"station_id":114478866},{"musicPath":"/music/Peter+Nero","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/646/6461d8d7506f4568fc0cd82dc0ed49e7_md.jpg","artistName":"Peter Nero","artistId":104583,"station_id":281861722},{"musicPath":"/music/Frank+Chacksfield+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ab3/ab39e012ce2846c4e9c4e3628c363bf5_md.jpg","artistName":"Frank Chacksfield \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":83020,"station_id":268757346},{"musicPath":"/music/Stanley+Black","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f1f/f1fc9031687c24d2336f809e22b614a6_md.jpg","artistName":"Stanley Black","artistId":83041,"station_id":268797961},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Ray+Conniff+Singers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/936/9367fd83aa7d66126214c3e2294d7afb_md.jpg","artistName":"The Ray Conniff Singers","artistId":65801,"station_id":264010271},{"musicPath":"/music/Sir+Julian","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/90e/90e5394cecc427268424d88a3a5f0ced_md.jpg","artistName":"Sir Julian","artistId":8421,"station_id":114117332},{"musicPath":"/music/Leroy+Holmes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/27a/27acbc645eff5531e267eb36b3b945d6_md.jpg","artistName":"Leroy Holmes","artistId":5750,"station_id":114114659},{"musicPath":"/music/Zacharias","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cae/cae43e540752df2307661dfc8c4ae83f_md.jpg","artistName":"Zacharias","artistId":8426,"station_id":115628160},{"musicPath":"/music/Percy+Faith+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/aad/aade276344908aad6d845c19c3165541_md.jpg","artistName":"Percy Faith \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":123352,"station_id":283947616},{"musicPath":"/music/Don+Costa","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/168/168c9af07e46fe53760b6414f34f750d_md.jpg","artistName":"Don Costa","artistId":8463,"station_id":113378349},{"musicPath":"/music/Bill+Perkins","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/16f/16fff1156e42dfcaa24ca9dde25b489b_md.jpg","artistName":"Bill Perkins","artistId":103659,"station_id":287828501}]}
