Earlier this week, we ran the $5 pledge reward allowing patrons at that level to vote on which topic of Extra History we would cover in the future. After the vote finished, I switched the setting on the post so that everyone could view it. My intent was to make the results of the poll (and comments on it) public so that everyone could see and weigh...

Illness plagued Simón Bolívar. Evil rumors dogged him. Yet he held fast to his dream of a united South American federation.
We're taking a year-end break after this episode, but we'll be back with Lies in January!

Simón Bolívar had freed five nations from Spanish rule. But could he be as successful in peace as he had been in war?

To win independence for Venezuela, Simón Bolívar realized he needed to free all of South America from Spanish rule.
