Two documents by Simón Bolivar reveal that he understood that the non-adhesion of the people to the anticolonial criolla cause as an educational issue, comprising virtue and morals, or its lack, rather than an issue of the racial and social contradictions of the period. From this perspective, the contents of the Cartagena Manifesto are analyzed, in which the Liberator of the Americas interprets the main facts that brought about the fall of the First Republic (1811-1812) and the re-appropriation by the Spaniards. The 1814 Carúpano Manifesto is also investigated, after the loss of the Second Republic for Spain, whose strength lay with the people´s army led by José Tomás Boves.
