To answer this question, we need to analyze the possible options and identify which one identifies a way the Latin American and Caribbean independence movements were inspired by the American Revolution.
A. The fact that the leaders of the American Revolution came from the lower classes is not a direct inspiration for the Latin American and Caribbean independence movements, so this option can be eliminated.
