The Letter of Jamaica, a text drafted by the Liberator Simón Bolívar, met this Thursday 203 years since its drafting, on September 6, 1815 in Kingston, capital of Jamaica, in response to a letter from Henry Cullen, a British citizen residing in Falmouth, northwest of that island.
In this context, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro exalted through his account on the Twitter social network that the Father of the Homeland, Simón Bolívar, marked in that document the course of the free peoples of America, and reflected the importance of the union to form a single nation from the whole new world.
In the Letter of Jamaica, Bolívar exposes the reasons that caused the fall of the Second Republic, which occurred after receiving the refusal of the authorities of New Granada to collaborate with a new offensive against the Spanish Army, forcing him to go to Jamaica with the purpose of obtaining the cooperation of the English Government to continue the struggle for American freedom.

“Twenty-three years have passed since the Father of the Homeland marked the course of the free peoples of America; he left us the Letter of Jamaica and in it the importance of the union to “form a single nation of the whole world”. Today we continue to build the Great Homeland.”
