Answer:

Philadelphia was important in colonial America because it became a trading center due to its location and size.

Explanation:

Founded by William Penn in 1682, Philadelphia has been one of the most important cities in the United States politically, culturally and economically throughout its history. It was the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and also served as the capital of the United States from 1790 to 1800.  

Philadelphia grew rapidly and by the end of the 17th century had more than 7,000 inhabitants. As a port city, it became a major economic center, importing sugar, rum and molasses from the Caribbean. At the same time, the city's industry and shipbuilding industry began to flourish. Benjamin Franklin, one of the city's most famous residents, arrived in Philadelphia in 1723. Thanks to him, the city became a major cultural center. He also co-founded Pennsylvania Hospital, the first public hospital in the United States, with Thomas Bond.

Who conducted the political revolution against the Spanish monarchy in early nineteenth-century Latin America
777dan777 [17]

Creoles conducted the political revolution against the Spanish monarchy in early nineteenth-century Latin America

More about the revolution:

The Spanish Bourbon reforms of the 18th century caused significant instability in the relationships between the American colonial rulers and their citizens. Many Creoles, or people of Spanish ancestry who were born in America, believed that the Bourbon strategy was an unfair attack on their social rank, political influence, and money. In fact, certain Creoles in Venezuela and some communities that had moved from the periphery to the center during the late colonial era benefited from the progressive easing of trade restrictions, so others did not suffer during the second half of the 18th century. After hundreds of years of proven service to Spain, the American-born elites felt that the Bourbons were now treating them like a recently conquered nation.
