description	This article focuses on the participation of the Free Coloureds in the Revolution of Caracas, and the perception they had of that political process. In this sense, it applies a ‘From Below’ methodology, following a conceptual analysis of the notion of ‘equality’ they had. The author argues that the Free Coloureds did not conform a homogenous sector neither in racial nor in social terms, a situation that would end up affecting the course of events. He also indicates that from the 1790s a more abstract notion of that concept began to appear, mainly because of the incidence of what was going on in the French Antilles at that time. This tendency consolidated after 1811, with the appearance of a radical political sector leaded by Miranda. He concludes indicating that during that revolutionary process took place a severe conflict of interests and motivations, in which the modern ideals and traditional aspirations associated to race equality coexisted and, at times, even concurred in a violent way, as it happened in the ‘socio-racial war’ that broke out in 1812.
