How did the social and political relationship between American-born and Spanish-born groups help to bring about rebellion in Colombia and other countries The American-born groups felt they were denied?

The American-born groups, or Creoles, in Colombia and other Latin American countries felt marginalized and denied political power and social status by the Spanish-born elites, or Peninsulares, who held key positions in governance and administration. This resentment fostered a desire for independence and self-governance among the Creoles, who sought to assert their rights and interests. The growing discontent was further fueled by Enlightenment ideals, which emphasized liberty and equality, ultimately leading to widespread calls for rebellion against colonial rule. As tensions escalated, the Creoles united with other dissatisfied groups, paving the way for revolutionary movements across the region.
