Get Started

BACKGROUND:

As you begin looking for your time machine, your teacher informs you: Events in the United States during this time (the Era of Good Feelings) had a big impact on Latin America. As Latin American colonies began to gain their own independence from Spain, they looked to the United States as an example.

BEGIN

Simon Bolivar

In your search for the time machine, you stumble into a remote village. There you meet a man names Simon Bolivar, a leader in the independence movement who wanted to create a country like the United States in South America. In fact, some of the independent South American countries even used language from the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution to write constitutions of their own.

A THREAT TO INDEPENDENCE

Mr. Bolivar explains that the respect that many of these South American countries hadfor the United States alarmed European countries. They did not want their own colonies to get ambitious ideas about independence. As far as Britain and France were concerned, the best way to prevent this was to help Spain regain its colonies in the Americas!

WARNING WASHINGTON

As far as the United States was concerned, more British, French, and especially Spanish intervention in the Americas was entirely unwelcome! The United States was wary of Spain trying to take back control of colonies. So, being the patriotic Americans that you are, you ask Mr. Bolivar for some paper to write a letter to warn President Monroe of what is happening!

HELP ARRIVES!

Appreciative of your letter, President Monroe sends a military unit to help you locate your missing time machine.

Buckle up into the time machine and complete the remainder of the amplify (4-6) using the new source to activate it.
