Simon Bolivar's post-independence vision for Latin America was to create a united, independent and sovereign continent known as Gran Colombia, which would encompass much of present-day northern South America. He believed in a strong centralized government that would promote democracy, civic virtue, and social equality. Bolivar also envisioned a Latin America free from foreign interference and dominated by its own people.
