Answer 1

Independence led to political and economic instability in these regions, as well as some positive social changes.

Explanation: After independence many Latin American states and Haiti experienced weak institutions, frequent coups/caudillos, and economic disruption/debt (e.g., Haiti’s indemnity to France), while some social gains occurred—most notably Haiti’s abolition of slavery and in parts of Latin America reduced legal racial hierarchies even as elites retained power.
