Jose antonio paez biography of abraham

English, French, Spanish, German, Slovenian, Ethiopian, and Assyrian/Chaldean; Hungarian (Ábrahám), Slovak (mainly Abrahám, also Ábrahám), Czech (also Abrahám): from the Hebrew personal name ʾAbraham (modern spelling Avraham), borne by the Biblical patriarch revered by Jews as the founding father of the Jewish people (Genesis 11–25) and by Muslims as founder of all the Semitic peoples, both Hebrew and Arab (compare Ibrahim ). The original name of the Biblical patriarch was probably Abram , meaning ‘high father’ (from ab father, ram ‘exalted’), while its later form is explained in Genesis 17:5 as being derived from Hebrew ab hamon goyim ‘father of a multitude of nations’. It was widely used as a personal name among Christians as well as Jews in the Middle Ages. The name Abraham is also found among Christians in southern India, but since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames, the southern Indian name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US. As a surname of Hungarian origin Abraham is also found in Romania. — Note: Since Ethiopians do not have hereditary surnames, the Ethiopian name was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.

General Páez (1790-1873)* is considered amongst the most significant and victorious fighters against the Spanish Crown, a notable figure in the History of Venezuelan War of Independence and a great influence in the history of South America during the 19 century.  He later led Venezuela’s breakaway from Gran Colombia becoming the first president of the Republic of Venezuela and governed his country’s politics for nearly two decades (1830–1835; 1839–1843).

After fights over power, he was forced to exile from his country in 1850 and did not return to motherland until 1858 during the Federal War. At his arrival, he was requested as the Leader of the armies to calm the disturbances that governed the country. Unfortunately in spite of having the full support of the government, he could not dominate them. Therein is arising reputation as a dictator, something that he really never came to be (1861–1863).

After turbulent years, he withdrew voluntarily to the United States, arriving from Saint Thomas to Candem, State Island, Philadelphia and Baltimore, before arriving to New York where he was received with the highest honors of his hierarchy on recognition for his battles and prestige.

At the time, Millard Filmore (1800-1874) was the President of the United States and gave a reception to welcome General Páez. The occasion was widely registered by the local press including a publication by the New York Times. Additionally, Major Grant of City Hall and president Cleveland himself gave the order to have two American warships accompany the “Pensacola” which led Páez to the American marine border. His biographer and friend R. B. Cunninghame Graham, quoted in reference to these homages: “After all he was not more than a simple leader defeated by its own party… the thought that any former president of some South American republic, whose star had been eclipsed, with all its personal prestige, were received nowadays with public honors in New York, surpasses the imagina

Argentine soldier

Abraham González (1782 – c. 1838) was an Argentine soldier who participated in the Spanish American wars of independence and the Argentine Civil Wars, and was governor of Tucumán Province.

Early years

Abraham González was born in Concepción de la Sierra, Misiones Province in 1782. In his youth he lived in the Banda Oriental and joined militias that took part in the uprising led by José Gervasio Artigas in 1811. He fought in the Battle of Las Piedras and the Battle of Cerrito in one of the divisions that took the city of Montevideo in 1814. González was sent to the Northern Army and participated in the campaign of José Rondeau in Upper Peru (Bolivia), fighting in the disastrous Battle of Sipe-Sipe. He spent the rest of that decade in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, a member of the small garrison was left of the Northern Army, under the command of Colonel Domingo Arévalo.

Republic of Tucumán

In mid November 1819, with two other officers, González arrested the governor, Feliciano de la Mota Botello, Colonel Arévalo and General Manuel Belgrano. He then called an open meeting where Bernabé Aráoz was made governor. Soon after, Aráoz separated the province from obedience to the Directory and proclaimed the "Republic of Tucumán". The new governor promoted González to the rank of lieutenant colonel. In March 1821 war broke out between Salta Province and Tucumán, and forces under Alejandro Heredia invaded the province, sent by Martín Miguel de Güemes. Aráoz took charge of the Tucumán army, which defeated the Salta forces at Rincón de Marlopa, just south of Tucuman, on 3 April. His chief of staff, Manuel Arias, directed a charge by González's infantry and cavalry that decided the victory. After this action he was promoted to general.

In late August, González was a leader of malcontents in the army allied with the caudilloJuan Felipe Ibarra of Santiago del Estero. González deposed Governor Aráoz on the
