Download or read book No Limits to Their Sway written by Edgardo Perez Morales and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 1808 French invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, an unprecedented political crisis threw the Spanish Monarchy into turmoil. On the Caribbean coast of modern-day Colombia, the important port town of Cartagena rejected Spanish authority, finally declaring independence in 1811. With new leadership that included free people of color, Cartagena welcomed merchants, revolutionaries, and adventurers from Venezuela, the Antilles, the United States, and Europe. Most importantly, independent Cartagena opened its doors to privateers of color from the French Caribbean. Hired mercenaries of the sea, privateers defended Cartagena's claim to sovereignty, attacking Spanish ships and seizing Spanish property, especially near Cuba, and establishing vibrant maritime connections with Haiti. Most of Cartagena's privateers were people of color and descendants of slaves who benefited from the relative freedom and flexibility of life at sea, but also faced kidnapping, enslavement, and brutality. Many came from Haiti and Guadeloupe; some had been directly involved in the Haitian Revolution. While their manpower proved crucial in the early Anti-Spanish struggles, Afro-Caribbean privateers were also perceived as a threat, suspected of holding questionable loyalties, disorderly tendencies, and too strong a commitment to political and social privileges for people of color. Based on handwritten and printed sources in Spanish, English, and French, this book tells the story of Cartagena's multinational and multicultural seafarers, revealing the Trans-Atlantic and maritime dimensions of South American independence.

Download or read book The Fortifications of Cartagena de Indias written by Rodolfo Segovia and published by Bilineata Publishing & El Áncora Editores. This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER A CENTURY OF PEACE HAS FREED Cartagena from its ever-present fear of military attack. Today, its ramparts are picturesque reminders of bygone days; and the presence of the Colombian naval fleet no more than an adornment to a pleasant setting. In Colonial times Cartageneros had a different perception: they lived for over two hundred years under protection of stone structures laid out to discourage the enemy, and for them, the city’s defenses were much more than a quaint sight. Spanish officials and merchants, clergymen and artisans, and even slaves, knew too well that fortresses correctly designed, solidly built, wisely equipped and, of course, well defended were essential for protection of life, honor and property.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN eBOOK! General Simon Bolivar, “the Liberator” of five South American countries, takes a last melancholy journey down the Magdalena River, revisiting cities along its shores, and reliving the triumphs, passions, and betrayals of his life. Infinitely charming, prodigiously successful in love, war and politics, he still dances with such enthusiasm and skill that his witnesses cannot believe he is ill. Aflame with memories of the power that he commanded and the dream of continental unity that eluded him, he is a moving exemplar of how much can be won—and lost—in a life.

Book excerpt: This is a story inspired by true facts, although some names are fictitious, the account of sea battles and historical events that molded the northern part of the South American continent are rigorously true. The history of Cartagena, the Spanish and English confrontations, the pirates, the department of El Choc�, the Atrato River and the historic facts about the Darien are also true. Also, I tried to maintain my equanimity in all which is narrated here. The amazing story of Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, the most courageous sea captain of all times is also told here with numerous details in order to prove his bravery during the site of Cartagena. The monstrous defeat suffered by Admiral Vernon in 1741 when he attacked the city and humiliated England to its most, was researched with the utmost care and described here with respect as a lesson of bravery and fairness.No one, absolutely no one has more courage and is not bigger as a warrior of the sea than Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, born in Pasajes, on February 3, 1689 - in Guip�zcoa - in Euskera -, which is a Spanish province and historical territory of the autonomous community of the Basque Country-, and died in Cartagena de Indias, in Nueva Granada, on September 7, 1741, just under 4 months after the Cartagena site was completed, with 52 years of age. He did not die from any of his injuries but was defeated by the plague that was generated with the decomposed bodies of thousands of mostly English bodies and mercenaries hooked by Admiral Vernon in Jamaica.
Download or read book The Colombian Caribbean written by Eduardo Posada Carbó and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the role of regions in the development of modern nations in Latin America. Eduardo Posada-Carbo focuses on the Colombian Caribbean between 1870 and 1950. He examines the achievements and shortcomings of arable agriculture and the significance of the livestock industry, the links between town and countryside, the influence of foreign migrants and foreign capital, the relationship between local and national politics, and the extent to which regionalism represented a challenge to the consolidation of the national state in Colombia. This original study opens up the area to scholarly scrutiny, and has wider implications for Latin American historiography.
