Introduction

I read the first 25 pages of this book, and I thought it was very intriguing. Basically, from what I read, it explained the many populations of Latin American countries, whether they were big or small. The author also talked about how South America was the main place where slaves were bring imported. There were different political forces such as Nationalism and Liberalism that happened in the region.Basically, the whole chapter was just an introduction to what we are going to be reading in some information we need to know before reading.
