Father Miguel Hidalgo was a Catholic Priest in the 18th century. He became known as the father of the Mexican Revolution as he was a leader of the Mexican War for Independence. He was the first person to start a rebellion against Spanish rule. The lyrics "We're not gonna take it anymore" by Twisted Sister can be applied to Father Hidalgo's attitude towards how they were being treated by the Spanish. Also, "We'll fight the powers that be" and "Oh, you're so condescending" shows his determination to gain independence and why he feels that way.

Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement starting in Europe and spreading to Colonial America. Enlightenment stressed the principles of natural rights, separation of powers, and reason (science over faith). The lyrics "It's now or never/ I ain't gonna live forever" describe how enlightenment thinkers took measures to develop and further the Enlightenment Movement (thinkers include Voltaire, Montesquieu, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin). Additionally, "You're gonna hear my voice/ When I shout it out loud" displays how supporters of the Enlightenment believed in what they were advocating (such as rights, autonomy, and science).

The Haitian Revolution was a revolt led by Toussaint L'Ouverture. In this revolution, both enslaved and free Blacks alike participated in the overthrow of French rule. The slaves in Haiti were treated very poorly and worked in hard conditions on sugar plantations. "Speechless" by Naomi Scott from the movie "Aladdin" accurately reflects the attitudes of the slaves in Haiti. Scott sings "Try to lock me in this cage/ I won't just lay me down and die." This connects to how the slaves decided to fight against their owners and colonial rule and how L'Ouverture encouraged them to take a stand. L'Ouverture embodies the lyrics "Don't you underestimate me/ Cause I know that I won't go speechless," for he believes in the cause he has rallied and will not give up without trying to attain freedom for Haiti.

Simon Bolivar was a Venezuelan military leader who helped to free many countries (including Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia) from Spanish rule. He inspired republican principles and motivated leaders around the globe to take action. The lyrics "You're burning, yearning for some/ Somebody to tell you/ That life ain't passing you by" from Kenny Loggins's "Footloose" relates to Bolivar's ability to prompt people to gain their freedom and not let life pass them by.

The Cuban War for independence was when Cuba fought Spain for autonomy. Along the way, Spain used inhumane, brutal tactics that the United States disliked. In 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine exploded, increasing tensions between the United States and Spain. These increased disagreements and tensions between Spain and the U.S. led the U.S. to ally with Cuba to help them win their independence, which they acheived in 1898. The lyrics "I had some help/ It ain't like I can make this kinda mess all by myself" displays how America was able to help Cuba. Cuba may not have been able to gain their independence without the support and military backing of the US.
