His remains were moved from Santa Marta to Caracas in 1842, where a monument was set up for his burial. A standout in the Southeastern Conference, he was two-time All-SEC (1995-96), first team All-American in 1996 and a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection (1995-97).

Bolívar finally resigned his presidency on April 27, 1830, intending to leave the country for exile in Europe or the Caribbean, and died from tuberculosis on December 17, 1830, in "La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino", in Santa Marta, Colombia. At the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, Eckstein was a walk-on to the Gators baseball team in fall of 1994, later earning a scholarship. Dissident feelings continued, and uprisings would later occur in New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador during the next two years. He was voted to the National League All-Star team in 2005. Although he emerged physically intact, this nevertheless greatly affected Bolívar. From 2001-04, Eckstein has compiled a .278 batting average with 17 home runs and 170 RBI in 567 games. An assassination attempt in September 1828 failed. He was a member of the 2002 World Series champion Anaheim Angels.

He considered this as a temporary measure, as a means to reestablish his authority and save the republic, though it increased dissatisfaction and anger among his political opponents. After a college career as a walk-on at the University of Florida, he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 19th round of the 1997 amateur draft, and selected off waivers by the Anaheim Angels on August 16, 2000. After the failure of the convention due to grave political differences, Bolívar proclaimed himself dictator on August 27, 1828 through the "Organic Decree of Dictatorship". Louis Cardinals, beginning in the 2005 season. Unhappy with what would be the ensuing result, Bolívar's delegates left the convention.
David Eckstein (born January 20, 1975 in Sanford, Florida) is a baseball shortstop for the St. This move was considered controversial and was one of the reasons why the deliberations met with strong opposition.

Bolivar had wanted to implement in Gran Colombia some or all of the elements of the Bolivian constitution he had written (which included a lifetime presidency with the ability to select a successor, though this was theoretically held in check by an intricate system of balances). In an attempt to keep the republic together as a single entity, Bolívar called for a constitutional convention at Ocaña during April 1828. An amnesty was declared and an arrangement was reached with the Venezuelan rebels, but political dissent in New Granada grew as a consequence of this. During 1826, internal divisions had sparked dissent throughout the nation and regional uprisings erupted in Venezuela, thus the fragile South American coalition appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

However Bolívar had great difficulties maintaining control of the vast Gran Colombia. On August 6, 1825, at the Congress of Upper Peru, the Republic of Bolivia was created in honour of Bolívar, who drafted a new constitution for the new nation. Sucre destroyed the still numerically superior remnants of the Spanish forces at Ayacucho on December 9. Bolívar, assisted by Antonio José de Sucre, decisively defeated the Spanish cavalry on August 6 1824 at Junín.

The Peruvian congress named him dictator of Peru on February 10, 1824, which allowed Bolívar to completely reorganize the political and military administration. After a meeting in Guayaquil on July 26 and 27 1822 with Argentine General José de San Martín, who had received the title of Protector of Peruvian Freedom in August 1821 after having partially liberated Peru from the Spanish, Bolívar took over the task of fully liberating Peru. Further victories at the Carabobo in 1821 and Pichincha in 1822 consolidated his rule over Venezuela and Ecuador respectively. A victory at the Battle of Boyacá in 1819 added Colombia to the territories free from Spanish control, and in September 7, 1821 the Gran Colombia (a federation covering much of Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador) was created, with Bolívar as president and Francisco de Paula Santander as vice president.

In 1816, with Haitian help, Bolívar landed in Venezuela and captured Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar). However, after a number of political and military disputes with the government of Cartagena, Bolívar fled in 1815 to Jamaica, where he requested the Haitian leader Alexandre Pétion for aid. He intended to march into Cartagena and enlist the aid of local forces in order to capture Royalist Santa Marta. Due to the rebellion of José Tomás Boves in 1814 and the fall of the republic, he returned to New Granada, where he then commanded a Colombian nationalist force and entered Bogotá in 1814, recapturing the city from the dissenting republican forces of Cundinamarca.

Caracas was retaken on August 6, 1813, where he was proclaimed as El Libertador, thus proclaiming the Second Venezuelan Republic. Six days later, on June 15, dictated his famous Decree of War to the Death (Decreto de Guerra a Muerte). He entered Mérida on May 23, following the occupation of Trujillo on June 9. This was the beginning of the famous Campaña Admirable, the Admirable Campaign.

In 1813, after acquiring a military command in New Granada under the direction of the Congress of Tunja, he led the invasion of Venezuela on May 14. In this period, Bolívar wrote his Cartagena Manifesto. But in July 1812, junta leader Francisco de Miranda surrendered, and Bolívar had to flee to Cartagena de Indias. Bolívar returned to Venezuela in 1811.

The Caracas junta declared its independence in 1810, and Bolívar was sent to England on a diplomatic mission. Bolívar returned to Venezuela in 1807 and, when Napoleon made Joseph King of Spain and its colonies in 1808, he participated in the resistance juntas in South America. Bolívar returned to Europe in 1804 and for a time was part of Napoleon's retinue. There he married María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa in 1802, but on a brief return visit to Venezuela in 1803, she succumbed to yellow fever.

Following the death of his parents, he went to Spain in 1799 to complete his education. Among his tutors was Simón Rodríguez, whose ideas and educational style heavily influenced the young man. Bolívar was born in Caracas, in modern-day Venezuela, into an aristocratic family, educated by different tutors after his parents died. .

Credited with leading the fight for independence in what are now the nations of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, today's Panama and Bolivia, he is revered as a hero in these countries and throughout much of the rest of Latin America. Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios (July 24, 1783 – December 17, 1830) was a South American revolutionary leader.
