Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios (24 July 1783 – 17 December 1830) was a Latin American general who liberated Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela from Spanish colonialism.[1] He visited Haiti in 1815, and President Alexandre Pétion, gave him a force of 6,000 soldiers and seven ships in exchange for freeing slaves in all areas liberated from Spain.[2] Bolívar and José de San Martín founded the unitary republic of Gran Colombia which broke up after his death due to Statesian and British intervention.[1]
Bolívar began his career as a liberal, praising the British and Statesian constitutions, but later turned away from them because of their racism. He denounced the Spanish conquistadors of the past and the North American concept of racial purity.[2]
