Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Chuquisaca Revolution was a popular uprising on 25 May 1809 against Ramón García de León y Pizarro, Governor-intendant of the Intendancy of Chuquisaca (or Charcas) (today Sucre, Bolivia). The Real Audiencia of Charcas, with support from the faculty of University of Saint Francis Xavier, deposed the governor and formed a junta.[1] The revolution is known in Bolivia as the "First Cry of Freedom" (Spanish: Primer grito libertario), meaning the first phase in the Spanish American Wars of Independence. The level of hostility against the Spanish Crown and news from both the American Revolution and the French Revolution has made historians dispute on whether such a description is accurate. However, accounts depict it as being the first step towards liberty in Latin America against the Spanish Crown.
