L.A Chapter 5 Cheezified

     Right after the independence happened in Latin America, the people there were very different and it was very hard for the government to decide on how they were going to run each of their own countries. Most countries decided to write constitutions like the U.S, but some had people called caudillos (CAH-uh-DEE-ohs) who led the country. Caudillos were leaders that were strong enough to put together a whole army that could control people.
       Caudillos usually were in charge of just an area in their country and if they were good enough, they would become the caudillo of the country. These caudillos were very important after the independence because they were a main part of keeping a country together. They were like our governors but more rough and mid-western.
      Even though the people in Latin America were able to find ways to control their area, they had a tough time dealing with the after scene of the Independence. The war scenes. Many beautiful countries were ruined by all the fighting that it took for freedom. Also, Latin America lacked efficient transportation at the time, and therefore it was hard for them to trade with other countries and continents.
