He was famous in North America, too, at least when I took World History, as a leader and a man who opposed and ended slavery where he could. Early 1800's as I recall.

@Mariocrespo8546 Both Bolivia AND Venezuela were named after him. (I did not know that ... just looked it up.)

It's good they didn't name both countries Bolivia. That could have gotten confusing.@Mariocrespo8546
