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.
