chapter 17 first part

This was a short reading of chapter 17 which we are beginning to learn about the different atlantic revolutions such as North America, France, Haiti, and Latin America. It was a place of exchange of good and ideas. It was crazy that all the revolutions of the Atlantic were from derived from the European Enlightenment. These ideas of the enlightenment were shared across the atlantic by books, pamphlets, and newspapers. Its shocking to see how much of an impact it had on the rest of the world as it spread. Im  excited to  see how each of the revolutions differed from the same central ideas. The North Atlantic revolution was all about getting away from the british rule which was launched by the declaration of independence. Learning about this reminds me of the Washington DC trip I took in 8th grade. We went to particular monuments to learn about the history of America. It was a really fun yet informative trip. I was very thankful to get that opportunity.
