The enlightenment was a period of critical thinking. It popularized the idea of inalibal rights. It also popularized the they Idea of popular sovrentey. This song is all about seeing something you did not see before. One verse from the song says "All that time not knowing how blind I have been" can be related to how pepole had not really thought about every day peoples role in thear government until now

The Hatian revolushion was the only successful slave revolt in history. they created thear own government sepreat from the French. the song I am still standing is about someone being successful after leaving someone just like how Hati was susseful after rebeling against France. One lyric in peticuler "I am still standing better than I ever did" incapulates the how Hati was better after they became independent from France

Father Miguel Hidalgo was a priest who believed in a independent Mexico, and wanted to end racial injustice and wanted to give land back to the natives. He was execcuted by the Spanish government for speaking out. This song is about someone dieing but not regretting his choisis in life and feeling happy with all he accomplished in life. A verse from the song I think perfectly illustrates this is "I fased it all and I stood tall and did it my way" this was Miguel's mind set he was going to speak his mind even if he got killed for it.

the monro doctrine was president monro stating that the wester himasper should be respected. The U.S. whear now very influenchel in global affairs. I chose this song because it talks about people desire to rule the world this can be used for the Europeans or Americans every country involved wants more power and influence. The line "nothing never lasts forever" relatets to the the Europeans losing influence on the world stage.

The Cuban war for independence was a war fougut to gain independence from Spain. The Cubans one the war mostly because of the help from the Americans. This song talks about two people acopishing grate things together. one line from the song that reflects this in the song is "Just the two of us We can make it if we try" this shows how the U.S and Cuba together defeated the Spanierds
