The Freemen of the South (Spanish: Libres del sur) was an 1839 rebellion against Juan Manuel de Rosas, which took place in south Buenos Aires province. A group of ranchers took control of Dolores, Chascomús and Tandil, and expected to join forces with the unitarian Juan Lavalle, who led an army from Uruguay. The rebellion was defeated during the battle of Chascomús.
