ECUADORIAN INDEPENDENCE
by Angie Drake
August 10, 2019

Ecuador's First Cry of Freedom | First Cry of Independence.

On August 10, 1809, a group of Criollo citizens of the Audencia Real de Quito, announced the local rebellion to overthrow Spanish-colonial rule.

In Ecuador, the day is known as El Primer Grito de La Independencia, the First Cry for Freedom.

Led by Juan Pío Montúfar and José Cuero y Caicedo, the cry for independence set the wheels of a broader movement in motion. They and other governmental representatives from the different neighborhoods in Quito signed a document, El Acta de Independencia de 1809, confirming their commitment to a new form of government.

Their act is comparable to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the United States.

In response, the Spanish colonial government rallied troops from Popayan, Pasto, and Guayaquil in hopes to quell the budding rebellion. Eventually, the revolutionary governing board allowed the troops free passage into the city with the agreement that no reprisals would be taken against the rebels. However, less than a year later, the colonial government massacred more than 300 revolutionaries in Quito.

Nevertheless, that massacre did nothing to quell the fiery heart of a revolution born on the eve of August 10 in Quito, Ecuador.

Fewer Puerto Ricans than expected register to vote in Florida so far While Hispanic groups say the real push to register new residents will come this year, Democratic political strategist Steve Schale said his party should not take it for granted that new Puerto Rican residents will equal a Democratic surge.
