What is the definition of sovereign nations?

A sovereign nation is one which can make its own laws and policies and can protect its borders from invasion without having to bow to the authority of Another Country. The United States of America has long had a policy that the United States of America, and only the United States of America, is entitled to be a sovereign state. Hence they have denied countries the right to choose their governments and laws (as in Chile in the 1970s) or the right to protect itself from invasion (as in Iraq, where those who defended the country were accused of crimes according to the laws of the United States).

Do the people of latin America have the freedom to choose who to worship?

As far as I know, yes. Please note that "Latin America" is not a single country, but many different countries, each with its own laws. - However, I am not aware of any country in Latin America where such freedom is restricted.

Why are Montgomery Alabama ritchmond Virginia chosen as the capatal of confederacy?

Because, when on Feb. 4, 1861, the Convention of the States who seceded from the Union was summoned to gather at Montgomery, only seven States had decided to carry out that step and Montgomery was located about in the middle, in the heart of them. After the secession of Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina, It was decided to choose Richmond as the Capital of the Confederate States of America, because Virginia was considered of being the ideological center of the South and the Homeland of George Washington.
