The underlined text states: "...whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged..." This directly indicates that the United States has formally recognized the independence of these newly formed Latin American nations.

Using the Textual Evidence Analysis knowledge point

• Option 1: "The United States considered them enemies." This contradicts the text, which describes acknowledging their independence on "just principles."
• Option 2: "The United States recognized their independence." This matches the underlined phrase "...whose independence we have... acknowledged."
• Option 3: "The United States wanted them to become colonies again." This is incorrect, as the passage opposes European interposition or oppression of these independent nations.
