What does Bolívar mean when he writes, “The veil has been torn asunder. We have already seen the light, and it is not our desire to be thrust back into darkness. The chains have been broken…”?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What does Bolívar mean when he writes, “The veil has been torn asunder. We have already seen the light, and it is not our desire to be thrust back into darkness. The chains have been broken…” was that the independence movement of this region os Latinamerica had already started and nothing could stop it.

Simon Bolívar, "the great liberator" -as he was known- was in exile on the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean,  when he wrote a letter called "Letter from Jamaica." In this letter, he shared his thoughts on the Latinamerican sentiment against the Spanish crown and enumerated the injustices and grievances.

Simón Bolívar added that Latinamerican people were desperate for justice and independence, and that was the conduit to victory.
