Solution

The correct option is D Simon Bolivar
The revolutionary army in Latin America which was supported by black slaves and farmers was led by Simon Bolivar. Simon Bolivar himself led multiple expeditionary forces against the Spaniards, and between 1819 and 1822 he successfully liberated three territories New Granada (Colombia and Panama), Venezuela, and Quito (Ecuador) from Spanish rule. In the American Revolution, gaining freedom was the strongest motive for black slaves who joined the Patriot or British armies. It is estimated that 20,000 African Americans joined the British cause, which promised freedom to slaves, as Black Loyalists.
