Intro:
- Long Nineteenth Century
- "Nature Increasingly vulnerable to humans"
- "The most interesting stories of modern world history are not simply those of European triumph or the imposition of Western ideas and practices but those of encounters, though highly unequal, among culturally different peoples. It was from these encounters, not just from the intentions and actions of Europeans, that the dramatic global changes of the modern era arose " I think this is an interesting point and I agree with it.
- Europe was a powerhouse but we often forget it was not the only country in the race. There are many other countries who influenced our world and what it has become today.
- Haitian Revolution
- Thus the Atlantic revolutions in North America, France, Haiti, and Latin America
- Occurred because of expensive wars, however these wars were global. It cost the countries a-lot of money. This resulted in taxes.
- CULTURAL EXCHANGE
- human political and social arrangements could be engineered, and improved, by human action. // Main Idea
- Enlightenment ideas begin to create controversy.
- "Were liberty and equality compatible? What kind of government—unitary and centralized or federal and decentralized—best ensured freedom? And how far should liberty be extended?"
- The Ideas during the Atlantic Revolutions inspired many to abolish slavery and fight for a right to vote equally. A battle America still fights to this day truthfully.
