In 1821 a congress of Central American Creoles declared their independence from Spain, effective on 15 September of that year. That date is still marked as the independence day by most Central American nations. The Spanish Captain General, Gabino Gaínza, sympathized with the rebels and it was decided that he should stay on as interim leader until a new government could be formed.

Central America: Encyclopedia - Afro-Latin American

An Afro-Latin American is a person from Latin America who has black ancestry.
