25.5 Formative Assessment • Nationalism was a movement that would spread around the world and bring widespread political and social change. • How was this idea evident in Latin America in the 1800’s?
25.5 • ***The revolutions would come from the lower classes as well as the Creoles. *** • What form of nationalism would the Creoles fight for? Why? Explain – • Desire for self rule • - to break free from Peninsulares • -to break the rigid social order / they were considered “2nd Class”
Why would Creoles be the “leaders” of independence movements? • Wealthy and well educated • Knew liberal political philosophies of Enlightenment
How was this social and political situation similar to the French Revolution? • Creoles similar to Middle Class of Third Estate • Wealth, education but lack of power
Pop Qz • African slaves • burning plantations, homes, sugar • Native Americans and Mestizos • Spain • Republic • Spain • Simon Bolivar • equality and liberty • Portugal • D – liberal • Constitutional Monarchy
25.5 Latin America: Challenges to Growth • By 1820’s – most = independent (map p.667) • …..but…..Need unity and stable govt.
Geography • Mountains – difficult transportation/communication • Lack of trade, economic growth, and unity • Ethnic groups become rivals
Colonial Heritage • Peninsulares Haitian Creoles (free people of color)
little practice w/ self govt. (used to Authoritarian) • Used to an absolute power or executive branch • Not used to legislative branch to make laws or judicial branch to interpret laws
Bolivar- “state of permanent childhood” • - What does this mean?
Social class distinctions • Creoles (military) replaced peninsulares as ruling class, so natives and mestizos still resent them. • ***form military dictatorships which still remain and create problems today.
Political Conflicts • Liberals (mestizos, intellectuals, merchants) want = separation of church/state, break up large estates, higher taxes on land owners, public services, civilian control of govt. , free trade • Creoles, Church and Military oppose liberals • Many revolts and civil wars between classes
