The American Revolution inspired revolutions in France, the Caribbean, and in Latin and South America between the late 18th and mid-19th centuries.
Naturally, Spanish and Portuguese American revolutionaries turned to the United States for assistance with their fights. How did Americans in the United States respond to these calls for assistance? What did they make of these other “American Revolutions?”
Caitlin Fitz), an Assistant Professor of History at Northwestern University and the author of Our Sister Republics: The United States in an Age of American Revolutions), helps us investigate answers to these questions.
