Meléndez es The revolt Shortly before the night of the revolt, Intendant José María Peinado was warned of the plot, leading him to order that elections be held in neighboring areas. After most of the positions went to his opponents, he quickly ordered the arrest of many of the newly elected mayors. The subsequent unrest that night allowed for the Independentistas to gather and take up arms across San Salvador. Not much is written about the actual revolt, but within a few days, the colonial authorities had suppressed the revolt and imprisoned most of the Independentista leaders, including Arce and José Celis.https://isbn.cloud/9789992321867/el-salvador-insurgente-1811-1821-centroamerica/ El Salvador insurgente 1811-1821 Centroamérica 978-99923-21-86-7 esFlemion Philip F. 1973-11-01 States’ Rights and Partisan Politics: Manuel José Arce and the Struggle for Central American Union https://read.dukeupress.edu/hahr/article/53/4/600/151504/States-Rights-and-Partisan-Politics-Manuel-Jose Hispanic American Historical Review en 53 4 600–618 10.1215/00182168-53.4.600 0018-2168 https://web.archive.org/web/20251119061924/https://read.dukeupress.edu/hahr/article/53/4/600/151504/States-Rights-and-Partisan-Politics-Manuel-Jose 2025-11-19 2026-01-17 live subscription References Category:Independence movements Category:1814 in El Salvador
