the reason this is hard to research is that the question is pretty hopeless. The French revolution - an internal civil war against the ruling aristocracy - can't really be compared with the colonial uprisings of the Latin American colonies against their European imperial overlords.
The short answer is that the latter won their independence, for better or worse; whereas the French did without their monarchs for a while, set out on military adventures, won, lost, got the monarchs back, removed them again, and are now fully republican, which is a mixed result at best.
