The dependencies of Spain in South America were very restive under the government of the mother country, and especially after the success of the American Revolution, and many ardent spirits in these colonies of Spain sought to obtain for them their independence. Among those who were most prominent, was Francisco de Miranda, a native of Caracas, who had studied and observed in the United States the system under which they were living, and who had in previous years “disclosed his views among others, to Hamilton, upon whom he fixed his eyes as a coadjutor in the great purpose of his life. Nor was Hamilton slow to perceive its importance and its advantages” . There was no active co-operation at that time, and Miranda betook himself to Europe, and endeavored to engage some of the European nations in his plan, but without success”. En el resto del texto se incluyen cartas de Rufus King a Miranda; de Miranda a John Adams, a Hamilton y otros.
