wealth from their
American colonies.
Catholic missionaries
from Spain & France

_______________________________________________________________
Enslaved Africans and American Indians were at the bottom of the social
ladder.

20.
Indians & African slaves
made up the bottom of
the social hierarchy

21.
From 1800 to 1830, Latin American colonies began
declaring independence from European nations &
establishing democracies throughout the Americas

22.
By the late 1700s,
Latin Americans
were inspired to
gain independence
because of the
ideas of the
Enlightenment,
and the successes
of the American &
French Revolutions
had spread
amongst the well-
educated Creole
class.

23.
Throughout the Spanish
colonies in South America,
the creoles had wealth &
education but could not
participate in government
Creoles embraced Enlightenment
ideas like natural rights &
consent of the governed

24.
Five outside events prompted Latin American
revolutions for independence:
1. Enlightenment ideas of
liberalism spread among
Creoles
2. American Revolution
showed how it could be
done - inspired
revolutionary leaders
3. French Revolution idea of
“liberty, equality and
fraternity,” but how
much liberty, equality,
and fraternity was
debated.
4. Fear of Haiti’s slave revolt
made Creoles act quickly.
5. Napoleon’s forces invaded
the Iberian Peninsula-
colonies claimed that had
no loyalty to this French
puppet- government
