Bolivar's Optimism About the Future Was Unshakeable

Venezuela lay in ruins after a war to the death, pablo morio's huge armada was laying siege to cartagena. King ferdinand had been restored to the spanish throne. All of which seemed to spell the end for america independence. So when believer turned his attention to the future you might think he would wallow in a little pessimism. But if there's one thing believer was not, was a pessimist. He could be a cynical realist, he could be a cold blooded killer, but he was never going to be a pessimists.
