Chapter 16

The Atlantic Revolutions and echoes that happened after. The three revolutions were 1776 North America, 1789 French, and 1791 Haitian. The North American Revolution was working towards progress, freedom, equality, and independence. The French Revolution was working towards liberty, equality, and fraternity. Hati fought because they were influenced by the other two revolutions. The Haitian revolution led to the abolition of slavery and after that the feminist movement.
