Manuel Rodríguez... Son of the Rebellion

Well, this week I need talk you about the greatest Chilean of all time, and I think that the best character in the History of Chile is Manuel Rodríguez.
Manuel Rodríguez was a lawyer in the time of the Independence of Chile, in the century XIX. He fought against the Spaniards who get the control of Chile. Manuel Rodríguez saw that the situation wasn't the better and he decided became in a guerrilla, meeting with bandits and poor people to make a revolution...
He don't fought just against the Spaniards, but also against some Chileans that don't like how he could fought with bandits... even, he had to fight against the General Captain Bernardo O'Higgins, who gave the order to kill him when Manuel was carried to a jail (under the charge of treason).
I think that his deeds was important because with him the people knew how fight for their freedom, and also because he help in different combats in all the country, even bound with the working-class. In addition to it, he got much information cheating Spaniards, using his great intelligence... all this with the help of his friends: Carrera brothers. 
If I met Manuel Rodríguez, I ask to him what is the real reason from the hate between him and O’Higgins, because the both sharing a really bad relation, fighting the both against the Spaniards and against themselves.

Finally, I think that Manuel Rodríguez is an example from the popular power... A power that isn't bound to a particular political party, but an ideology of Freedom and Justice...
