Progress Report # 3

Our group's research is due soon, so that has been the majority of our work the past week. I learned a lot about many of the people I've been researching, about how Francisco de Miranda was one of the first activists of revolution before Simón Bolívar, and how Miguel Hidalgo was a priest who was a major activist in Mexico's independence from Spain.

Liam learned that Great Britain and the United States opposed the plan for the reconquest of Latin America. Britain is thriving for the trade with the independent Latin American regions.

Brendan learned that Latin American music somewhat sets the bar for all the music that we have today. We listen to all the rhythms that the dominate nations had  back then. The three main nations that occupied the Latin American Area were the Pre - Colonial Indians, Europeans and the Africans. The Africans that were brought to this region were used for slavery as they were in the U.S.A.
