The following pages presents an exploration of some speeches, attitudes and expectations about how common people in Cartagena understood and defi ned national sovereignty, its process of convergence, during fi rst decades of the XX century, with the bitter experience of imperialism and the perspectives from which they were defined. Our central hypothesis is that the anti-imperialist attitudes which are organized and articulated from the Panama events (1903) are based on political traditions and the national sovereignty that began to be constructed with the independence and soon they were fed by the international, national and local context of the XIX century.
