He recalled the historical context that became into the declaration of Bolivar, after several meetings with the Haitian leader Alexandre Pétion, who “brought to Bolivar not only resources, ships, weapons and boats, but the knowledge of a mestizo Republic which lost the conception of a mantuano Republic “.
