The First Republic of Venezuela

One of the congressmen was a plant whose loyalties actually lay with the regency back in spain. He bundled up confidential war department assessments of venezuela's defenses and skipped town. The patriotic society then sprang into action, creating a healthy buzz in the caracus streets in favor of declaring total independent. With only one dissenting vote, the gress voted to declare independence,. And i'll be taking next week off, mostly to focus on riding the storm before the storm. When we return in two weeks, we will watch things go really not great for the patriotic cause.
