Caste System, Bourbon Reforms, And Crown's Monopoly

The Latin American revolutions occurred during the 18th- and 19th- centuries. These revolutions had multiple issues that shaped their independence and wars, such as the social structures of their colonies. At the top of Spanish society were the Peninsulares, which were the most powerful people who were born in Spain, and the only class that could have jobs within the government. They also had power over economy and government. Whereas the Creoles were

6). This system contained many inequalities and eventually led to the independence struggles of the early 1800’s which overthrew the king’s representatives and the peninsulares.

Economically “In 1763, the average Englishmen paid 26 times as much in taxes each year as the average American colonist paid.” (Shi, Tindall, 120) These taxes were raised because of the war. This money that was coming from the British citizens and was going to “maintaining and defending” (Shi, Tindall, 34) the colonies, and because of this “British leaders thought it [was] only fair that the Americans should pay more.” (Shi, Tindall, 120) So, after all the complaining the Britain’s did British leaders tried to enforce many different taxation “acts” that would lessen the taxes on Britains and raise taxes on colonists. These acts such as the Stamp Act, the Currency Act, and the Sugar Act all ended up falling because the Americans revolted and boycotted the Britain’s in many ways such as, “Thousands signed nonimportation

In documents E & F, both explain how the Creoles had led the fight socially. Stated in Document E, “Father Hidalgo, a Mexican revolutionary priest, declared himself in open revolt against Spain. He led about 600 followers, mostly Indians and mestizos, to fight against the injustices of the Spanish colonial system.” Father Hidalgo had been a Creole and he wanted to encourage lower class citizens to revolt, and other Creoles did not support him. He had led people to fight against the injustices of the Spanish. Socially, the Creoles had been on the top and they had wishes to stay there. Additionally written in Document F, “The Creoles were intensely aware if social pressure from below, and they strove to keep the coloured people at a distance.” “...when the monarchy collapsed in 1808, the Creoles could not allow the political vacuum to remain unfilled, their lives are property unprotected.” The Creoles had truly felt the heat from the other social classes. They had believed that if they did not seize the opportunity, then other danger would come. The Creoles had anticipated a rebellion that had been popular among all the other classes. To conclude, the Creoles had to secure their spot on the social pyramid and make sure that the lower classes did not overthrow them and revolt against them. The Creoles had been successful and what they had wanted to

The end of the French and Indian War brought debt to Great Britain. To pay for the costs of the war, British Parliament passed a series of laws taxing the American colonists. The colonies became upset with all of the new taxes and began to rebel. The colonists had no representation in British Parliament and felt that they should not pay for taxes without the ability to have a say. Their rebellions only made the British create more laws without them.

Revolution started to take over the world. The French Revolution started to happen, and ideas of enlightens started to spread. Latin America’s Spanish King was just removed, and the Creole generals started to lead wars of independence. Now was the time to begin a Revolution. The uneven distribution of resources lead to conflict and Revolution in Latin America by geographic luck, advanced weapons, and unfair social class.

Revolutions hit Latin America, and the fight for independence would change history forever. In the early 1800’s the lower class known as Mulattos, Mestizos and mid-class creoles were in a battle for a new form of government, against the abundant and powerful peninsulares. Rebellions in Latin America were fueled by the unjust distribution of food, wealth, and power.

However, even after gaining independence both regions still had a societal social structure based on race. Social structure seems to exist in many colonies around the world, as demonstrated by the Spanish colony in the Philippines. The Philippines social structure was very similar to the Latin American casta system, except that most americans in Philippines were regarded as high ranking than native asians. Similar to in Latin america, the main revolutionists who fought for independence were the “middle tier” Ilustrados. These Ilustrados, much like Creoles, were educated native Filipinos who played a massive role in Filipino nationalism against Spanish rule. The power and influence of the Ilustrados are yet another example of how many revolutions in history are led by the “mid-ranking social

What once was a relatively free and peaceful place started to feel the wrath of the cruel invaders. After decades of the Spanish rule, the Latin American colonies decided to finally take back what once was theirs. Latin America, under the rule of Spanish forces, faced problems. The revolutions that took place during this time were influenced by the ideas from the Age of Enlightenment.

Twelve Impossible Things Before Breakfast, is a collection of stories that vary from parodies to extended variations of famous fantasy stories. Jane Yolen, challenged the most popular children’s story ever, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and created a more upbeat Wonderland with a more hard-hitting Alice than usual. The original Alice in Wonderland is a tale about a girl who falls asleep and dreams about this magical and adventurous land known as Wonderland. Alice in “Tough Alice,” has made multiple trips to this magical realm and has become a veteran to the laws and duties of Wonderland. Both stories embark on Joseph Campbell’s idea of Structuralism, ‘Hero’s Journey’ by following the sub-elements

Before the Chilean War of Independence, Chile was colonized by Spain. The Spaniards colonized Chile in hopes of discovering another Peru, another country plentiful with precious metals. Finding none, the Spaniards began to focus on developing Chile agriculturally. Due to the poverty of the country, there were few slaves and the settlers had to often work the fields themselves. Not many settlers stayed due to the fact that they couldn’t profit from gold, but their influence was still strong. The citizens of Chile had to be under the rule of the Spanish crown, and a strong class structure developed in Chile

All of the aforementioned factors contributed to the independence movement of Mexico. However, the main steps towards independence came because of Napoleon’s invasion of Spain in 1808. The monarchy was greatly weakened when Napoleon gave the crown to his brother causing the people of Madrid to revolt. With Spain’s back turned, the leaders of New Spain began to argue amongst themselves. The viceroy was forced to allow the Criollos to participate in administration. Then, a group of Peninsulares, those who had been placed in many of the administrative positions, did not like that the Criollos were gaining any influence in the government. They staged a coup d’etat and overthrew the viceregal government.

Those creoles pushing towards revolution to free themselves from Spanish rule felt that the Spanish crown was only abusing, discriminating and holding them back form growing economically. The elite felt they were not part of a revolution seeing themselves only as people who were All those part of the social context of Latin America, felt differently within Indians, on side of the Spanish King, though great abuse fell through. "Nonetheless, the Indians of New Spain (and elsewhere) enjoyed a set of legal privileges, exemptions, and protection which significantly interferes with their complete integration into colonial society, and kept them in a legal bubble of tutelage ruptured only with the advent of independent Mexican nationhood in the third decade of the nineteenth century (Van Young, 154). The point here is that where these and other legal and administrative remedies were applied in favor of the Indians of colonial New Spain, they were applied in the kings' name. Furthermore, religious and civic ritual of all kinds constantly stressed the centrality of the Spanish king to the colonial commonwealth, and his benevolence and fatherly concern with the welfare of his weakest subjects (Van Young 155). "Situated as they were between the Spaniards and the masses. The creoles wanted more than equality for themselves and less than equality for their inferiors" (Lynch, 44). The creoles discriminated against those in lower classes than themselves.
