Simon Bolivar and the Latin American Revolution

Simon Bolivar was known as a hero for his brave idea and provincial influence on the Latin Americans. He like most of the other Latin's were tired of being ruled by the Spanish and they wanted democracy and independence from Spain. Simon Bolivar led his troops when numbered in the thousands to northern part of south America to reclaim it from the Spanish. He wanted his fellow Latin's to free of Spanish rule not only because they were treated extremely unfair by the Spanish but also because they were tired of not having any free speech, so they rebelled and demanded freedom.
