Bolívar: American Liberator by Marie Arana
5.0
The last post of Bolívar the American Liberator by Mari Arana highlights the role of Manuela Sáenz in defending Bolívar's possessions and papers, and her exile to Paita where she re-united with father Rodríguez and stayed there till her death in 1855. This section also reveals the conspiracies that the Liberator's co-leaders plotted to kill him, which hurt him badly resulting in his departure to a haven in Santa Marta to die due to suffering from tuberculosis in 1830. After his death, Bolívar was celebrated and people built monuments of him in many cities. Dictators of numerous countries in Latin America also used him to win elections by exhuming his remains and celebrating him, but sadly none of them worked on achieving Bolívar's dream of a united South America!
************************************
Continuing with the second post of Bolívar the American Liberator by Mari Arana. The epic story that described how Bolívar and his co-patriots fought courageously by standing in the face of the treacherous Spaniards. El Libertador also kept Spanish Americans informed via establishing 'El Correo del Orinoco' newspaper and counteracting the false news spread in the Spanish paper 'Gaceta de Caracas.' These free men liberated Venezuela as well as Bolivia, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Peru between 1810 and 1825 from after being colonized for ~350 years.
****
Bolívar the American Liberator by Mari Arana is an electrifying historical saga about the man who with help of co-patriots was able to liberate his country Venezuela as well as Bolivia, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Peru between 1810 and 1825 from the Spanish, who colonized South America for ~350 years. He was named Liberator of South America and this is how he remained. He was (is) the man who led a revolution traversing from Haiti to Potosí to kick Spaniards for good, despite that his vision of a united South America, similar to that in USA was shattered. Bolívar's principles of equality, eradication of racism, democracy, and fraternity also weren’t achieved in South America.
