Rosas was the head of "a loose alliance of Federalist caudillos," and he ruled with the strong arm tactics that were common to caudillo rule.
Rosas was "capable of diplomatic compromises, but intolerant of opposition and unforgiving to his enemies." Although Rosas believes that he was saving the country from anarchy, his opponents saw him as a dictator.
Rosas managed to unite these areas with his model of caudillo rule in the province of Buenos Aires and throughout the country, but he did not go to any effort to enhance the liberties that people had hoped would be gained with independence from the colonial powers.

Juan Manuel de Rosas (1793-1877) emerged as the most powerful political figure in the United Provinces in 1829, and ruled the nation until his ouster in 1852.
While there is much truth to this—Rosas basically ruled on behalf of the large landowners of his own province, and knew the ways of the countryside well—he also achieved what the Unitarios could not: a modicum of national unity and international standing that strengthened currents of Argentine nationalism for the future.
Rosas died in exile in England in 1877, and though revered by his admirers, remains a controversial figure to this day.

 Juan Manuel de Rosas
When Governor Rodriguez, of Buenos Ayres, was threatened with invasion in 1820 by the governors of Santa Fe and Entre Rios, he appointed Rosas captain of militia, and the latter, with a force of 600 gauchos, assisted in the battles of San Nicolas and Pavon.
Although his army was at first defeated, and Gem Lavalle invaded the Argentine at the head of an army, Rosas organized a force the command of which he gave to General Oribe, and began a war against the Unitarian chiefs of the interior, and a price was set on their heads.
Rosas, with an army of about equal force, was intrenched at Palermo and Santos Lugares, but at the first attack of Urquiza his troops wavered.

His father, Leon Ortiz de Rosas, was an owner of cattle runs (estancias) and a trader in hides, who took an active part in defeating the English attack on the city in 1807.
Juan Rosas received so little education that he had to learn to read and write when he was already a married man and a successful cattle breeder.
His followers became a fighting force of acknowledged efficiency, and Rosas took practically the position of an independent ruler whose help was sought by contending political parties.

 Juan Manuel de Rosas: Authoritarian Caudillo and Primitive Populist By Jeffrey M. Shumway, History Compass
Rosas is also praised for his defense of national sovereignty against foreign powers like England and France which sought to impose their wishes, especially in matters of trade, on the Argentine provinces.
Throughout his tenure in office, the voices of the Rosas regime continued to speak of the government as one committed to republican ideals, and of Rosas as the defender of the nation against “savage” Unitarian (as he was wont to call them) attempts to subvert it.
The words of Juan Manuel are the same as the words of God.”  (24)  Nevertheless, as in his other relationships, Rosas did not hesitate to punish those Indians who violated agreements or who refused to enter into negotiations with the government.

 Anita Garibaldi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ana Maria de Jesus Ribeiro da Silva di Garibaldi (1821-1849) was the Brazilian-born wife and comrade-in-arms of Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Their partnership epitomized the spirit of the 19th century's age of romanticism and revolutionary liberalism.
One of Garibali's comrades described Anita as "an amalgam of two elemental forces…the strength and courage of a man and the charm and tenderness of a woman, manifested by the daring and vigor with which she had brandished her sword and the beautiful oval of her face that trimmed the softness of her extraordinary eyes."

In 1829 the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata -- yet another attempt at central government -- succumbed to provincial strongmen, who forced the resignation of the first national president.
Capitalizing on popular anger over this act, Juan Manuel de Rosas, a wealthy caudillo, won the governorship of Buenos Aires on an autonomist ticket.
From 1829, until his overthrow in 1852, Rosas ruled the provinces in financial and foreign matters, but without benefit of a national constitution.
