A hero from the past

Name: Simon Bolivar From:Caracas-Venezuela
Occupation: He was a liberator, leader in the struggle for South American independence, born in Caracas, Venezuela, 24 July 1783; died in San Pedro, near Santa Martha, 17 December 1880. His father was Juan Vicente Bolivary Ponte, a wealthy proprietor of Peru, of noble descent, as was also his mother, Maria Concepción Palacios y Sojo. Losing his parents early, young Bolivar was brought up by his uncle, the Marquis de Palacios.
My opinion: He was a great leader.
