Answer:

The local elites, the <em>criollos</em>, had wealth, lands and social position, but they lacked political power and were discriminated because they were born in the colonial territories; their families were of Spanish origin, but as they were born in the colonies, they were seen as socially inferior to the <em>peninsulares</em>, Spanish born in Spain and who were the only eligible to the top posts of the colonial administration.  Besides, Spanish restrictions and Madrid monoply of trade impeded increased trade and its benefits with other economies. They  also got inspired by the fight of the American colonies and the independence of the United States, as well by the French Revolution and its ideals. Many heroes of Latin American independence fought with the Napoleonic armies in Europe convinced they were fighting to spread the libertarian ideals of France. Besides, the decadence of Spain added another reason to dream about independence.  The leaders of Latin American revolutions were <em>criollos.</em>

Generally what was life like for the native americans of north american in 1492
Alexxx [7]
Most Indians concentrated on the important things in life: getting food, making clothes and building houses.
FOOD
Buffalo - Food of Native AmericansIndians ate many different kinds of food. Those who lived on the plains of the Central United States ate the meat of buffalo. The Pueblos of the south-western part lived on corn, beans and squash. Indians in Alaska and Canada were fishers and hunted deer and other wild animals in the forests. Most Indians ate berries and collected nuts.
Indians cooked their food in ovens that they made with hot stones. They preserved meat by smoking or drying it in the sun.
MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN
Many Indians married at an early age – girls between 13 and 15, boys between 15 and 20. In some Indian tribes parents chose husbands and wives for their children. Some Indian tribes allowed men to have more than one wife. After a man died his wife often lived with his brother’s family.
Most Indian families were small because many children died at birth or at an early age. When boys got older they were tested for their strength and bravery. Many had to live alone in the wilderness for a long time.
In many areas, Indians lived in big families called clans. These clans were a group of relatives who had one common ancestor.
CLOTHING
Many Indians made clothes from animal skins and furs. Buffalo skin and rabbit fur were especially popular. They also used bird feathers to decorate their heads. Indians of the tropical regions only wore simple skirts. Some tribes wore no clothes at all
