For some it was a conspiracy, for others a popular uprising, the truth is that Quito intellectuals and families formed a Sovereign Board that allowed the beginning of an independence plan. The crisis that the Spanish Crown was experiencing, caused by Napoleon's invasion of Spain, mobilized the Quito classes to confront the monarchy and achieve the desired independence for the country.

The fall of the deposed Spanish King Fernando VII, gave rise to a collective reaction of the Quito aristocracy and the so-called Quito Creoles. Antonio Ante, hero of the revolt, went to the Government House to inform the president of the Quito Court, Manuel Urriez (Count Ruiz de Castilla), that the Sovereign Board had removed him from office.

The news that a Sovereign Board was established in Quito that relieved the royal authority of positions was taken by the viceroyalties of Bogotá and Lima as an insurrectionary event, this due to the precarious communication of the time and the agitated international context. For this reason they sent troops to Quito, almost incognito, with the purpose of ending the insurrection against the Crown. in the Libertarian Act of August 10, 1809, an act in which the names and surnames of those common Creoles who will later shed their blood are inscribed. On that August 10, the libertarian junta had signed an act where Ecuador ceased to belong to the Spanish crown.

It is raised to the memory of the Quito patriots who started the struggles for independence in Ecuador. It was inaugurated in 1906 to commemorate the so-called First Spanish-American independence cry by the then president, General Eloy Alfaro Delgado. It is one of the most important icons of the Historic Center of the city and the country; as well as an important site of political concentration for being in front of the Carondelet Palace, seat of the Ecuadorian government.
