In light of the persistence of slavery in the US through the 19th century, freedom as an individual’s legal status separated people who could be citizens from people who were lifelong
independence is a major element in modern democracies. Yet, for years it was denied the people of many Latin American regions, like Argentina. Although Argentina had been granted independence from European powers in the 19th century, it seems as if that independence was not fully realized until the leadership of Juan Domingo Perón who brought the power back to the people of Argentina.

Widespread insecurity, callous English colonizers and the ghost of great famine still lingering on and on in their lives, made this ethnic group be convinced that home was longer a home anymore.
