[edit]A good effort/first pass. It just needs some grammar correction, as the original writer is clearly not a native english speaker.

Another ‘Black Leyend’
[edit]The article needs alternate references because, thus far, it reads like yet another ‘black legend’... this time denouncing the tragedy of a mulatto against a Mantuan elite headed by a megalomaniac (i.e. Simon Bolivar), who ended up martyrizing him.
Current scholarship has debunked this interpretation and proven, after copious research, that Piar was not the victim of a white elite conspiracy. Modern academic sources have, in fact, found sufficient basis to determine that Piar began an uprising, a rebellion, that risked sparking a civil war between republicans.
I recommend removing this article until the author consults alternate sources so we can be presented with a more balanced interpretation.
Among the extensive bibliography available I recommend the following references to get him or her started:
Yolimar Gil Amundarain. The decline of a Liberator: Historical aspects around the figure of Manuel Piar. Mario Briceño Iragorry Historical Research Center No. 68, Vol XXXV. July-December, 2017 pp. 89-110.
J. de la Villa, "Manuel Carlos Piar", in G. Bleiberg (dir.), Dictionary of the History of Spain, Madrid, Editorial Alliance, 1981.
Antonio Octavio Tour, Biography of General Manuel Carlos Piar, 1777-1817. Publisher, Editorial Venevasco. 1985. Original from, the University of Virginia.
