Does bolivar's letter reveal concern for the economic and social condition of south america's nonwhite population? what are some of the implications of bolivar's attitudes?

Simon Bolivar's most famous piece of writing, was a letter he wrote while exiled in Jamaica after the Spanish forces defeated him in Caracas.

In the "Jamaica Letter", Bolivar expresses both philosophical and political ideals he had for Latin Americans. He hoped to find a way to create a unified Pan-American nation, but saw how difficult it would be to maintain such a large territory and integrate the diverse cultures and demographics of each region.

Montesquieu was a big influence on him, specially for his idea that "the best government is that which best agrees with the humor of the people in whose favor it is established". Bolivar saw the inexperience of Latin America and doubted they could govern themselves without falling into a tyranny or suffering the damages of mob-mentality, which is why he seeked support from Britan, which he regarded as a leading liberal force.

Bolivar was torn between his ideals of freedom, integration and unity for Latin America; and his distrust in the capabilities to achieve these goals, considering that a dictatorship (although conflictuous with his beliefs) might be more a more practical way to go in this situation.

As a consequence of his controversial attitudes, the British end up denying support to Bolivar, who is then forced to conduct an army on his own. He'd later go on to liberate his people from Spanish monarchy and become a dictator himself.

Hope this helps!

most of the knowledge we have of the conflict comes from roman-jewish scholar titus flavius josephus, who first fought in the revolt against the romans, but was then kept by future emperor vespasian as a slave and interpreter.
