Juan Pablo Duarte

I think that Juan Pablo Duarte was one of the best in our Dominican Republic because thanks to him we are free and independent

Juan Pablo Duarte was a Dominican professor, military, politician and liberal activist. He is together with Francisco del Rosario Sánchez and Matías Ramón Mella, one of the Fathers of the Nation and founders of the Dominican Republic. He devised and presided over the struggle of several clandestine civil-political-military organizations such as La Dramática, La Filantrópica and La Trinitaria, created to fight against the Haitian invasion and for the independence of the Dominican Republic.3

Duarte, even though he was in exile, supervised and financed to a great extent the war of independence carried out by his comrades in struggle, which resulted in his economic ruin and that of his family, possessing extensive wealth from the maritime trade businesses that he carried out. his father.4 5 His liberal and Masonic vision was undermined by the Frenchified, who tried to make the newly founded nation become a French protectorate, while the conservatives, tried to reincorporate the territory to Spain. However, his democratic ideals have served as guiding principles for most Dominican governments. His initiative made him a political martyr in the eyes of later generations.
