Suggested Daily Topic

To make things more interesting I'm going add a suggested daily topic. To perk up discussion between Steemians. As always you are free to comment whatever you like to enter. You do not have to follow this suggestion.

The daily topic for today is:

Tell us about heroes who are most meritorious to your country's independence. I know alot of about the US heros who fought for America, but virtually nothing about other countries struggles for independence. Let's see if we can spread the knowledge some and acknowledge those contributions.

Thank you @dewi.ratna for the topic idea.

In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:

BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!

Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!

At school I am often invited by teachers to appreciate the services of heroes and contemplate their struggle, so I never appreciate my teacher.

I live in South Africa. Nelson Mandela is the most significant person in our history. He was jailed for 27 years for his struggle against an oppressive regime that denied the majority of South Africans fundamental rights like voting. Upon his release, he was elected to be the first democratically elected president of South Africa in the first election he was allowed to vote in himself. Having gained ultimate power he exercised this power to reconcile the people of South Africa instead of seeking revenge.

I wrote a recent piece about him, as this year we will be celebrating his 100th birthday. (He passed away 5 years ago)

Check it out. It is old, so do not upvote it.

[jamalsteem]

Very interesting topic.

[nurfa]

Every country that has experienced colonies must have a hero.

[salsabilaa]

In Indonesia, every service hero will be rewarded in the form of currency, if his struggle in expelling the invaders is very large, then the value of the currency attached his photo is on the small value of money, while the hero who small his service in fighting for independence will be rewarded so big by displaying his photo on the money of great value ... this is Indonesian friend, I do not know with in America.

[alpayabotak]

When I was little I was eager to be a hero,

[aminaton]

Door Duistermis tox Licht, Drop Out Dark Light, that's the title of the book of the famous collection of letters Raden Ajeng Kartini. The letters written to his friends in the Netherlands then became evidence of how much the desire of a Kartini to release his people from discrimination that has been entrenched in his day.

[suqya]

If the hero is very meritorious in fighting for independence, the successor of the nation even very meritorious in ruining the nation ..

I'm not going to tell you about a hero of independence, but rather about a great heroine.

MARÍA LUISA CÁCERES DÍAZ DE ARISMENDI, was born in Caracas, September 25, 1799 and died in Caracas, June 2, 1866, was one of the most important female characters in Venezuelan history and is the most important heroine of the independence of Venezuela .
On September 24, 1815, Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi, who was pregnant, is taken as a hostage to put pressure on her husband and is locked up in the house of the Amnes family, to be later transferred to a dungeon in Santa Rosa Castle in the Assumption .
On January 26, 1816, Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi gives birth, but the girl dies due to the conditions of childbirth and the dungeon in which she was. Then he is ordered to move to the fortress of Pampatar where he stays for a few days, then he is transferred to the prison of La Guaíra, and on March 22, 1816, to the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Caracas.
Unable to return to Venezuela, Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi arrives on January 17, 1817 in Cádiz, is presented to the Captain General of Andalusia, who protests the treatment he received and gives the category of confined, assigning a pension of 10 reais in fleece daily.
Luisa refused to sign a document where she was asked to express her loyalty to the King of Spain and to deny the patriotic affiliation of her husband, to which she replied "I am unable to dishonor my husband with the signature that is requested of me. Your duty is to serve your country and set it free. Sir, I can not advise a crime on Arismendi. I am his wife and I know my duty. "
In March of 1818 the lieutenant Francisco Carabaño and the English Mr. Tottem help her to escape, and the 3 of May of 1818 arrives at the United States where it knows the family of the patriotic admiral Lino Clemente. Colonel Luis Rieux, sent by Arismendi, visits Luisa and moves her to Margarita, arriving on July 26, 1818.

Simon Bolivar, freed 5 nations of Latin America, Venezuelan hero that encompasses the true love of the Latin American for freedom and justice, Marvel should make a comic and sure be the Pope of the heroes of Marvel

"Freedom is the only worthy goal of the sacrifice of the life of men".
Simon Bolivar

[rvag5]

Heroes of Venezuela.
Simon Bolivar

He was born in Caracas on July 24, 1783. His parents, faithful to the crown of Spain, belonging to the Venezuelan aristocracy, owners of cocoa plantations and copper mines, exploited by slaves, died when he was still a child (his father, Don Juan Vicente Bolívar in 1786. And his mother, María de la Concepcion Palacios in 1792). Leaving you a great fortune.
Under the care of his uncles, Bolívar received the classes of Simón Rodríguez, a young intellectual very much influenced by the thinkers of the Enlightenment, who taught him liberal values.
In 1797 he entered as a cadet in a militia battalion.

In 1799 Simón Bolívar traveled to Spain as part of his training. In Madrid he met Maria Teresa del Toro, with whom he married in 1802, and from which he widowed shortly after returning to Venezuela.
Bolivar destroyed an empire by freeing peoples and building nations. After the defeat Bolivar is incorporated again with the support of New Granada, starts the campaign called Admirable, started in May 1813, then takes Mérida where he was recognized for the first time as El Libertador, and finished on August 7 of the same year with its grand entrance in Caracas.
LAST PROCLAM OF SIMÓN BOLÍVAR
"Colombians! You have witnessed my efforts to raise freedom where tyranny once reigned. I have worked with disinterest, abandoning my fortune and even my tranquility. I separated from command when I persuaded that you distrusted my detachment. My enemies abused your credulity and trampled what month is most sacred, the reputation of my love of freedom. I have been the victim of my persecutors, who have led me to the doors of the sepulcher. I forgive them.

When disappearing from among you, my affection tells me that I must make the manifestation of my last wishes. I aspire to no other glory than the consolidation of Colombia: everyone must work for the inestimable good of the union. The peoples obeying the current government to free themselves from anarchy. the ministers of the sanctuary directing their prayers to heaven; and the military using their swords in defense of social guarantees.

Colombians: My last votes are for the happiness of the country. If my death contributes to the cessation of the parties and the consolidation of the union, I will calmly go down to the sepulcher.

Hacienda de San Pedro, in Santa Marta, on December 10, 1830. "

Lieutenant General and Admiral in Chief of Venezuela

Captain and Colonel of Spain
Colonel of the United States of America and Russia

[omarbalzar]

Francisco de Miranda.
Sebastián Francisco de Miranda y Rodríguez de Espinoza (March 28, 1750 – July 14, 1816), commonly known as Francisco de Miranda, was a Venezuelan military leader and revolutionary. Although his own plans for the independence of the Spanish American colonies failed, he is regarded as a forerunner of Simón Bolívar, who during the Spanish American wars of independence successfully liberated much of South America. He was known as "The First Universal Venezuelan" and "The Great Universal American". Source
