Painting of founding fathers of the Dominican Republic: Matías Ramón Mella, Juan Pablo Duarte, and Francisco del Rosario Sánchez. On the night of February 27, 1844, the leaders of the Triniatrios were going to make their dreams come true: to not only free the Dominicans from Haitian control, but to established an independent state free from all foreign power.
Sánchez, two-time hero and Founding Father of the Dominican Republic, was shot dead on July 4, 1861, in San Juan de la Maguana, at the young age of 44. Sánchez, like several of his companions, died with the first shot. Others were not that lucky and were finished off with machetes and clubs.
Three years later in 1894, through the Resolution No. 332 of April 11, dictator Ulises Heureaux ordered that Duarte, Mella, and Sánchez were the official Founding Fathers of the Dominican Republic. Since then, Dominicans venerate the memory of Mella, and of his illustrious companions, as the Founders of the Dominican Republic.
