As a young man, Núñez de Cáceres had already occupied several positions in the restored Spanish government in Santo Domingo under his former boss, Juan Sánchez Ramírez.
As Spanish rule in Santo Domingo became more unstable, other colonies in Latin America were already in preparation to break away from the Spanish Empire. The wars of independence in South America would have a great influence in Núñez de Cáceres's desire for the independence of Santo Domingo.
During the process of planning the independence revolt, Núñez de Cáceres managed to gain the collaboration of prominent military leaders, especially Pablo Alí.

In the years following his expulsion from the island, Núñez de Cáceres began taking part in many conflicts in Latin America. One such case was his participation in the anti-Gran Colombia conspiracy, La Cosiata, led by one of Simon Bolivar's former collaborator, José Antonio Páez.
