Tupac Amaru II: First emancipatory spirit of America

HISTORICAL CHARACTERS
The struggle for American independence came long before Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar. As
always, a man was born "mestizo", educated and wealthy class but in this particular case with indigenous past. Their desires unlike (advanced?) Europeans were not based on greed, power and conquest, but on the return of freedom for ancient people who had shown to be more civilized than the European barbarians. Tupac Amaru II, first emancipatory spirit of America.
José Gabriel Condorcanqui Noguera, mostly known as Tupac Amaru II, was the son of Miguel Condorcanqui and Rosa Noguera, a descendant of Tupac Amaru I, the last Inca of Peru, who was executed by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. José Gabriel for Indian status Noble studied at the Colegio San Francisco de Borja in Cusco and he had a good education. He led the so-called Great Rebellion began on November 4, 1780 with the capture and subsequent execution, the corregidor Antonio de Arriaga by Jose Gabriel and his men.
He was a mestizo origin in the blood that converged Sapa Inca Tupac Amaru with the Creoles. In fact, for a large part of his life, having been raised to 12 years by the native priest Antonio Lopez de Sosa and then at Colegio San Francisco de Borja, showed a preference for the Creole and came to dominate Latin and refined using Hispanic clothing, but later dressed as a noble Inca and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
He was the first to demand the release of all American of any dependence of both Spain and its monarch, implying not only mere political separation but the elimination of various forms of indigenous (mita mining, freight distribution, mills). Also decreed the abolition of black slavery in America first. His movement was a watershed, due to which the colonial authorities to indigenous class eliminated noble and increased the repression against the Andean, for fear that something repeated again.He was the first to demand the release of all American of any dependence of both Spain and its monarch, implying not only mere political separation but the elimination of various forms of indigenous (mita mining, freight distribution, mills).
