Abstrakt: A comparison between Bolivar and Jackson throws light on the strategies elaborated by the post-colonicd leaders of the Americas to incarnate the sovereign in an innovative way. As military heroes, both Bolivar and Jackson were tempted by Caesarism which seemed to offer an opportunity to meet the new political challenges in their republics. This caesarist (or caudillist?) moment led to a long-lasting myth in Latin America. However, while Jackson used his authority to build a racist republic, Bolivar managed to hold on to the universalist goal of an inclusive body politic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
