Simon Bolivia was recognized as one of the leading figure that helped to liberate Spanish America from the dominance of the Spanish. He was born of high status and is well educated in a time that slavery and power to the oppressor was more of the norm but he did not lust for power or wealth but instead he fought for the freedom of his people that was under oppression.
As a pioneer for liberalism in Spanish America since he did not agree with the Spanish viewpoints that the colony needs to be pushed down and reformed in order for them to be controlled. This is the Spanish mistakes as this oppression of the people under new rules and regulations just further incite a rebellion as they keep pushing people into a dead end. Simon Bolivia lead this uprising and was able to liberate Latin America. This is due to the mistreatment of the American people by the Spanish government who did not view the colonies as equal human being but slaves and lesser people.
Simon Bolivia motivation to lead his people to freedom is due to the fact that he wants the people from both sides to live with each other as equal under the protection of the law with their own rights. However, after Latin America was liberated and he offer the idea of liberalism to everyone, he did not execute it fairly. The law would often let the American people who did wrong things go while labeling the Spanish that did wrong as traitors and criminals that are to be punished by the law without mercy. To some extent, we can understand that he view the Spanish as danger to the republic that provides liberal rights but what if he also resented the Spanish or is, somewhat racial biased and this is a way to let them know what the feeling of being oppressed is like? A fault to his liberalism political view and actions.
