+ Interesting how Napoleon's rise affected outcomes in the liberation of SA. England supported Bolivar to get rid of Spain's cruel colonialism until they needed Spain to get rid of Nap.
+Bol wanted freedom and equality for all, which is why his government could not mirror US
+He formed and named Bolivia
-Harvey was clearly biased. At least 3 x he called Bol a prima donna
-Why did I choose a bio from a Welsh dude instead of a bio written from a SA?
