Event #1 The Enlightnment. Song: Legendary by Disney Channel Stars

<> And this part reminds me of the objective of the enlightnment which is to change the mind set, innovative ideas about liberty, sovernity, and equality for people in Latin American countries. <Oh we can win when we all start believing
We're stronger when we come together>> As in this new ideas they said "We can join forces and be stronger together" and that was the idea they started in early 17th. century and this idea was one of the inspirations for Haitian Revolution and the Mexican Revolution.

1791-1804

Event #2 Haitian Revolution. Song: Whatever it takes by Imagine Dragons

lauguzman2006 — 2023-04-13 15:50:25 UTC

The song is based on breaking chains, and it is exactly what Haiti (Saint Domingue) did in Haitian Revolution <>
I think that's the song that describes their situation in the moment they got rid of French.

1753-1811

Leader #3 Father Miguel Hidalgo. Song: Soldier, Poet, King by The oh Hellos

lauguzman2006 — 2023-04-13 15:50:25 UTC

As he's a Priest, this part of the song matches with what he did <>, Father Miguel Hidalgo saved his community in Mexico as a Priest when he called "El grito de Dolores" to start the revolution. I also took the reference that he's a priest because this is kind of a christian song.
<> I took this part making reference about how he led a revolt to get rid of Spanish colonialism.

1797-1856

Leader #4 Manuela Saenz. Song: Roar by Katy Perry.

lauguzman2006 — 2023-04-13 15:50:25 UTC

She was known for being a politician and fighting alongside Bolivar's rebel army to liberate Lima and Peru from Spanish colonialism.
In the part of this song when says <> represents, for me, Manuela Saenz, because at this time when Manuela Saenz started doing this revolution there was a different point of view in relation with the female gender (sexism) and the fact that she could lead a revolution of a entire community lets us know that she really made her voice sound loud with innovative ideas to guide a whole people and fight for their freedom. <> She was definitely a woman empowered and prepared to fight for the rights of her entire community.

1743-1803

Leader #5 Toussaint L'Overture

lauguzman2006 — 2023-04-13 15:50:25 UTC

A leader best known for coming from slavery and ended up being a leader for his community in Haiti (Saint Domingue) leading a successful revolt against France in 1792. I chose this song for this part <> because these parts describe exactly what he did, he was born in slavery, but his mind set must have been so great to make a whole country free, because as the song says <> he didn't stop his purpose until he achieved his goal.
