Most of Latin America achieved its independence during a period of two decades,
between the proud declaration of Haiti's independence in 1804 and the Spanish
defeat at Ayacucho in 1824. Nearly 20 million inhabitants of Latin America
severed their allegiance to France or to the Iberian monarchs. Every class and
condition of men in Latin America participated at one time or another, at one
place or another, in the protracted movement. Three distinct aspects of the
movement stand out: the slave uprising in Haiti, the popular revolt in Mexico,
and the elitist defiance in most of the rest of Latin America.-
Add Sticky Notethat in Mexico the creole surpassed the peninsular in wit and intelligence. Evincing a strong devotion to New Spain, Bernardo de Balbuena penned his La Grandeza Mexicana (The Grandeur of Mexico) in 1604 in praise of all things Mexican. He implied that for beauty, interest, and charm, life in Mexico City equaled--or surpassed--that in most Spanish cities.
