Answer 1

"The leaders of the American Revolution championed equality for all men."

Reason: Enlightenment ideas of liberty and equality expressed in the American Revolution inspired Creole elites in Latin America and the Caribbean to seek independence. The other choices are false or misleading: the American Revolution did not begin as a fight for religious liberty, it did not abolish slavery, and its leaders were generally from the propertied classes, not the lower classes.
