Also, the commercial restrictions imposed by Spain and the lack of development of other types of economic activities plunged the territory into misery and poverty. Therefore Panamanias decided to become independent from Spain for having fair treatment for all the people, although soon after the separation they voluntarily joined New Granada, fearing Spain to take power over the isthmus again.

-The third was to generate pride and sense of patriotism, modifying the general behavior towards this date, at the educational, business, entities and others, giving it the importance it deserves.
