R efiere the late anthropologist and journalist Miguel Acosta Saignes, in addressing the topic that exposes a hero first identified with the class to which he belonged and secondly, the man who was in contradiction with the same class, "spoke here Bolivar the "dwellers in the Western Hemisphere," which meant to him they had been English colonies "of our destiny," "America" \u200b\u200bfrom "America." Plus, all this really mean the Creoles, the aristocrats, the social class that claimed Bolivar everything stated in the Charter of Jamaica and Angostura as a memorial of grievances to justify the Revolution. Was to always maintain loyalty to his class, carrier management standards through the development of the history of Latin America or, as later noted, Latin America. But soon came into conflict many with that class of aristocrats, who used it as a great leader for his genius, for his incredible organizational and political skills, for their moral and physical strength, their driver skills and his decision deeply colonial. "
The first stumbling block comments
Saignes Acosta Bolivar finds its first setback to the Congress of Angostura and this trip will be repeating tirelessly to Bolivia.
"It was the first contradiction between the commitment of Bolivar to achieve freedom of slaves and aristocrats resistance represented in Congress, and of those military high political positions as they expected to usufruct had benefited the aristocrats. Called freedom of slaves, rather, to ratify the decree of Carupano, which was the first big step to make each slave a freedom fighter Republican. All the measures were approved. On the slaves were accepted for the first time a statement about what he called "freedom of bellies" in the end adopted by the Constituent Congress of Cúcuta, despite a shocking message that he sent the President of that body, immediately after Battle of Carabobo.
That Congress unshakable
The wisdom of the General Congress of Colombia, wrote, "is perfectly in accordance with existing laws for the emancipation of slaves, but she could have extended the rule of his beneficence on future Colombians arrived in a cruel cradle and wild, come to life to put their necks to the yoke. The children of slaves born hereafter have in Colombia should be free ... The General Conference [...] may order the absolute freedom of all Colombians to the act of birth in the territory of the Republic [...] Please VE. Raise this request on my part to the General Congress of Colombia to deign to grant it in return for the battle Carabobo, won by the liberation army, whose blood has run only for their freedom ...
anthropologist considered that despite the "meaning of Carabobo, which consolidated the freedom of Venezuela and Colombia, Congress remained unmoved. Bolivar applications came to the Constituent Congress of Bolivia in 1826. The same result, so slavery was extended in time, in Venezuela, until 1854. Another contradiction of outstanding impact occurred with the Congress of 1821. Bolívar proposed to be accepted as head of the new Republic of Colombia Cúcuta, to balance the distances, differences of characters, diversity of opinion, but moved the capital to Bogota with tremendous results, as sensed when in the presence of O'Leary said, hearing the bells ringing Bogota in honor of the Congress: "tolls for Colombia."
wrote this social researcher was Dr. Miguel Acosta Saignes, when you reinforce his view that "His class was after him like an animal would have been harmful, just because they had yielded to the ambitions of the former rulers. "
contradictions Increased
Saignes Acosta continues in its analysis and discussion about continuity the triumphs of Simon Bolivar, both politically and military, with the consent "of the natives of Venezuela, the former New Granada and Peru, as well as those of Ecuador and then in 1826, Bolivia. But the contradictions increased for various reasons. Bolivar granted to indigenous demands constant, a little, in return contribute to maintain armies that took shape in each future republic. "
struggle oligarchies
researcher explains that after the battle of Junín, began the descent or the beginning of the struggle of the oligarchies "formed rapidly after the first freedoms in Venezuela and New Granada. So when to seal victories against the English colonialists Liberator preparing the decisive battle of the anti-colonial struggle, was in Huancayo, October 24, 1824, reporting that he was suspending the privileges granted by Act of October 9, 1821 . I could not raise armies and send them outside the territory of the Republic of Colombia. There could thus lead the final battle that had been preparing for months to Sucre. Moved to the depths of the soul, it did send a simple notification to the Secretariat, the commotion in the Army South was tremendous. Unextended high chiefs sent message, which stated: "The Army has received yesterday the pain of death, the decision to inform Your Excellency has been pleased [...] VE can not be separated from it without violating pledges made with our blood ... "Sucre reported that suspending the implementation of the resolution, while never an answer. That is, Bolivar had been rebelling against the Congress in Bogota, fully backed by the army.
wrote messages and letters, Sucre appointed as a substitute and stayed true to his class when he inferred it a spear in the side of its glories. This was one of the great occasions when the revolutionary hurricane tested all his loyalty.
