Many key political figures in the region identified as republicans, including [[Simón Bolívar]], [[José María Samper]], [[Francisco Bilbao]], and [[Juan Egaña]]. Several of these figures produced essays, pamphlets, and collections of speeches that drew upon and adapted the broader tradition of republican political thought.
