The American and Latin American independence movements emerged from
distinctive settings and produced divergent results, but they were
animated by similar ideas. Patriotic political theorists throughout
the Americas offered analogous critiques of imperial rule, designed
comparable constitutions, and expressed common ambitions for their
new nations' future relations with one another and the rest of the
world. This book adopts a hemispheric perspective on the
revolutions that liberated the United States and Spanish America,
offering a new interpretation of their most important political
ideas. Simon argues that the many points of agreement among various
revolutionary political theorists across the Americas can be
attributed to the problems they encountered in common as Creoles -
that is, as the descendants of European settlers born in the
Americas. He illustrates this by comparing the political thought of
three Creole revolutionaries: Alexander Hamilton of the United
States, Simon Bolivar of Venezuela, and Lucas Alaman of Mexico.
