…..During our discussion of South America, we talked about Simon Bolivar, who is in many Latin American countries considered to be the George Washington of their area. Bolivar played a key role in Latin America's successful struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia all gained their independence as a direct result of Simon Bolivar’s help! …..What I would like for you to do for this assignment is to write a two-paragraph book cover biography (6 sentences per paragraph) about Simon Bolivar, in which you discuss his early life, what he did for many Latin American countries, and why he is remembered as such an amazing person. ….. …..This is again a research assignment, so please remember our rules on plagiarism!
