Resumen
Abstract This article aims to understand the connections that were forged between the processes of the revolution and abolition in New Granada, through the analysis of the slave issue in the middle of war and the strategies used by slaves to resist their condition and search for freedom. From diverse archival sources we have identified that (A) the independence war and (B) the slave resistances were determining elements of the process of abolition in New Granada; giving rise to a series of anti-slavery initiatives that accelerated the dismantling of slavery and that preceded the development of the republican project of abolition, initiated in 1821 with the issuance of the Law of Free Wombs in the republic of Gran Colombia.
