Francisco de Miranda was cooler.
Benjamin Butler
Any good books about this guy and the independence campaign in general? Only read so far the shit they gave us in school.
Jeremiah Rogers
San Martin was a bigger traitor since he was a Spanish soldier who even fought in Bailen against the Napoleonic troops.
Connor Ortiz
it´s fiction but quite good

Henry Allen
they arent trash in any way, but I wouldnt recommend it as a history book. Veeky Forums has awful taste in literature, edgy memers.
to OP, in Argentina it is pretty much accepted nowadays that San Martín was an English agent and mason who was following this plan,

but I dont think modern books that reflect such hystoriography have been translated into English.
Alexander Myers
Bolivar actually saw the independence as the best outcome of the region,and then regreteted. San Martín was way worse amd way more greedy.
Samuel Allen
> San Martin
> greedy
Dude he was the best commander of the independence, with a big army behind him and prestige enough to make himself supreme dictator. Yet he didn´t seized power because he didn´t care about politics. He refused to get involved in internal strife.
Ryder Thomas
That doesnt make him not greedy. He fought for his own interests amd didnt really cared about how it would have affected his country.
Jordan Diaz
This man speaks the truth.

Fun life for sure.
Henry Nelson
Actually just finished reading a compilation / translation of his letters and addresses called El Libertador. Was pretty good. Hadn't heard much of him in school because for some reason anything South of Texas isn't worth teaching.
His pessimism in his later years is shocking. I mean justifiably bitter but my God. However I respected the hell out of him.
How do people generally feel about him though? Great leader? Important to colonial American political ideology? What's this guy's legacy?
Justin Bailey
Why did these lowlives betray their motherlands? Human greed truly knows no bounds.

Bolivar was a coronel of the spanish army

He is revered as a Demi-god in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panama and Venezuela, especially the latter.
Camden Thomas
The guy was friends with basically every notable political/philosophical figure of his day.
Grayson Moore
Yet he accomplished nothing.
