description The tale El Matadero by Esteban Echeverría (1805-1851) is like a establisher report that make explicit the tensions deeply experienced at Argentina on the years of Juan Manuel de Rosas government. Exceeding the dichotomous limits between federalists and unitarists, El Matadero is a criticism on to Buenos Aires people who supported the caudillo Rosas and his authority.
