Best Answer

If you were a spy during the American Revolution and you were caught, one of two things would happen. You would be tried and found guilty, and then sentenced to hang. If lucky, you were sent aboard a prison ship, but more than likely died of disease while on board. In rare instances, spies were included in prisoner exchanges.

Did the latin American Revolution influence another revolution?

No. The French Revolution was the result of a peasant uprising against the French Monarchy in 1789. Latin American colonies revolted against Spain when it was being invaded by France in 1807-1814. However, all these new nations took the republic as form of government, which was based on the configuration setup by the United States.
