José Trinidad Morán

José Trinidad Morán was a notable Venezuelan general born in 1796, who played significant roles in the South American wars of independence. A staunch republican, Morán's life was marked by political exile and military service in Peru, where he became a respected figure. He is remembered for his bravery and commitment to constitutional order, ultimately facing execution without trial for his loyalty to the legitimate government. His legacy, once overshadowed, gained recognition posthumously when he was honored in Venezuela's National Pantheon in 1954.
