Bolivar, By Simon Bolivar

Vicente Guerrero was of black heritage, which his Spanish enemies would mock him because of his cultural background. With the help of other Black Mexicans, Vicente Guerrero would win the war, become Mexico’s second President, and quickly abolish slavery. With this in mind, Peru’s culture would also have African influence.

One reason Cesar Chavez was an effective leader was because he created a union known as the United Farm Workers. Chavez’s goal was to organize the farmers to receive better pay and better working conditions. He was not the first to attempt, others have tried but failed due to the power of growers. He was different, he gained support through encouragement. His exact words were “si se puede”(Doc A) meaning “it can be done”. He encouraged his supporters to seek their rights as farmers. “ The strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for other in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice”(Doc C). Chavez along

The article “Cesar Chavez Saved My Life,” written by Daniel “Nane” Alejandrez reflects on Mr. Alejandraz’s past, covering some very unfortunate events, but with a purpose of pulling emotion from the reader. While reading some parts of the article, I had to reread it over a few times to comprehend the point that the author was trying to make. The most important thing about knowing his past is that it is significantly different, and much more positive in the future because of one person, Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born into a poor family, he dropped out of school, and he never made more than a few thousand every year, yet he was still the first person to successfully make a farmers union. He was an effective leader because he was persistent, he was willing to sacrifice for his cause, and he was of the people with the people Documents A and D show his persistence. Before Chavez There were many attempts to organize a farmers union, despite this still tried. In document A, a skeptical news reporter interviewed Chavez. He believed that Chavez Couldn't do it.

Cesar Chavez was a civil rights leader and a labor union organizer who delivered a carefully crafted speech by acknowledging the perspective of his audience in order to vouch for the use of nonviolence over violence. While Chavez is arguing against the use of violence, he refrains from blaming anyone who had ever used violence. He manages to gain the trust of the audience by presenting himself as an understanding and compassionate individual, which allows them to be more receptive to his message.

Cesar Chavez was an American civil rights activists. He was born on March 31, 1927, in Yuma, Arizona. Cesar Chavez was the son of Juana Estrada and Librado Chavez. He was named after his grandfather.He lived in a Mexican-American family which had six children. Cesar Chavez lived in the same small house that he was born in. Chavez lost his land during the Great Depression. It was taken away because Chavez’s father made an agreement that was soon broken. His father tried to buy the house but he couldn’t because he wasn’t able to pay the loan. Their house was soon sold to the original owner. Cesar Chavez and his family then had to move to California to become migrant farm workers. The Chavez family had to work really hard. They did not live in the same place for so long. They would pick peas and lettuce in the winter. In the spring, they had to picks cherries and beans. For Summer, they picked corn and grapes. Lastly, for Fall, they would pick cotton. Chavez went to 30 different schools in California because his family kept moving from place to place to find work. In 1942, Chavez dropped out of seventh grade. It would have been his last year but he didn’t want his mother to work in the fields. Chavez soon became full-time migrant farm worker. At the time, farm workers weren’t paid enough and lived horrible conditions. Chavez and his older sister Rita helped farm workers and neighbors when they were sick. They would drive those who couldn’t drive to the hospital to see a

Cezar Chavez was born in a farm in Arizona and when he was 10 his parents lost the farm so they had to become migrant farm workers in California (Chavez, Cesar Estrada. Article. World book Advanced). Cesar dropped out of school in the 8th grade to help his family out. He went on to form the National Farm workers association which was a union for migrant workers. Its now known as the United farm workers of America. This union was for better wages/hours and working conditions for the workers (Cesar Chavez, Student Resources in context). Cesar Chavez believed in nonviolence tactics as means of negotiation which was one his policies in the union. The UFW started the grape boycott which was lead by Cesar Chavez, the boycott ended up gauranteeing union workers higher pay and the right to unionize (MiniBio: Cesar Chavez, Youtube). Cesar Chavez even fasted without food for 36 days in order for people to stop using pesticides in farm fields (Cesar Chavez Leader for Migrant Farm Workers, Pg 112) The fact that he went that long showed that he really cared for his cause and that gained him a lot of respect. But on April 23, 1993 Cesar Chavez dies and after Cesar’s death he was awarded the Presidential medal of freedom by president Bill Clinton (Cesar Chavez Leader for migrant Farm Workers, Pg 117). As you can see Cesar Chavez was extremely dedicated to his cause for migrant farm

Chavez did not like school because he did not speak English very well and Spanish was forbidden in the school he was attending at the time. All of his teachers spoke English. He would get punished with a ruler to his knuckles for speaking Spanish. In 1942 Chavez had graduated the 8th grade. He could not attend high school because he had to work for his family to earn money, so instead he became a migrant farm worker. People today want their children to learn about Chavez so that the generations to come might live their lives like his. The significant event that impacted Chavez to become the person he was, was his own experience as a farm worker his whole life. The people that made a significant impact on his life included Martin Luther King Jr. that had said, “As brothers in the fight for equality I extend the hand of fellowship and good will and wish continuing success to you and your members” (cesarchavezholiday.org). Also Gandhi had agreed with Chavez’s act of

We all have heard of Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington but, what about Simon Bolivar, Jose De San Martin, and Agustin De Iturbide? They have had just as much as an impact on the modern world as the famous founding fathers of The United States. From 1809 to 1824 independence revolutions raged through Latin America changing the world today with the creoles leading the fight. Despite the racist ideas from the Creoles, they successfully lead the Latin American Revolution because of their motivations to challenge their law, and administrative positions.

Chavez’s childhood was surrounded by his parents and himself in the fields to support them become sustainable. As he aged, Chavez saw the flaws in working conditions, wage, and became the director of the United Farm Worker Association Also, many other campaigns such as the Anti-Immigrant Stance became controversial.

Venezuela, located in the Latin American region, is a country that has been characterized by its abundance of oil reserve. A natural resource that has shaped the history and development of the country, affecting its economic, social and most important is political spheres. For many years Venezuela was controlled by authoritarian regimes. The country, being very important in the sense of geo-politics due to its abundance of oil, has been a key player in the international arena and most important, to those that for many years kept the country under their regime. It was not until 1958 that Venezuela experienced the change to democracy and a stable democracy was kept between the two main political parties of the time, Accion Democratica (AD)

Throughout Latin American History there have been several important leaders, but one leader in particular changed Latin American history forever. This particularly important early nineteenth-century leader was named Simón Bolívar. Simón Bolívar as a leader stood out from all the other leaders, because he played a crucial role in Latin American Independence. He was a revolutionary, an intellectual, and a visionary man that made Latin American independence successful during the nineteenth century.

To prove this, Chavez actually went out, and asked people door to door what conditions were they working in and what do they want (Tavaana.org 2016). This is ridiculous, who actually goes door to door, and asks for everybody’s working conditions and what they want? Although he didn’t do this by himself, this shows he really wants the workers to have a better life, and he works hard so it can come true. He also show perseverance when he walks 400 miles from Delano to Sacramento in 25 days (P.L Shelton 2004). This dude is crazy, he actually walked from Delano to Sacramento for a cause. Many people would’ve just quit, I would’ve quit after ten miles. But this shows real perseverance, he’s willing to do anything for the workers, and even gained 10,000 supporters. As we already know, Chavez had a very limited education. But even after dropping out of school, he still was learning more things every single day. He had many books on philosophy and he would read these books every day (United Farm Workers 2016). This shows true perseverance, he would still read even with his limited education, he was learning more and more each day, that’s true perseverance. Chavez was a hard worker and showed a lot of courage by

Where on the other hand, Simon Bolivar was the kind of guy that would save the day and do bold and unexpected things.
