A compound sentence can have two independent clauses, an example of this would be:
"Tom went to the store and Mary went home." The sentence is compound because it contains more than one clause, but they both act independent of one another, joined by the conjunction "and".
Another type of sentence with two clauses which are independent, is a sentence containing a nominative independent clause or a clause which is descriptive but independent of the grammar of the rest of the sentence. An example of this would be:
"It happened in the year 2008, Obama was elected President of the United States of America."
"It happened" is a bit redundant, but the two clauses are indeed independent.

This is called a compound sentence. It consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "but," or "or." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and no dependent (or subordinate) clause(s). The independent clauses that make up a compound sentence may be connected with a coordinating conjunction, conjunctive adverb, or semicolon.
