Revolutions

So. Many. Revolutions. I couldn't imagine living in that time where everywhere you looked there was a revolution there. All the Atlantic revolutions had a baseline that was similar, in that they all seemed to help the middle class white men,  but again, each one was distinctly different. 

America's revolution was really about a break away from Britain. Another thing that was noted about our revolution is that we did not really make a new society. the revolution just kind of accelerated the society, which was of a democratic kind. France also seemed to awaken their revolution because of America's. Even though they were having a revolution that was different than ours, America seemed to propel theirs forward. France's revolution had to do with internal political affairs. There were conflicts with the amount of privileges that the elite were getting. You know what was so different about the French revolution and about France in general. Women. Women there were such a prominent part of revolutions and conflicts. They charged, and marched and signed documents, which, you'd think they would get equality, but they did not. In fact, men were starting to feel a little afraid, so they stopped all women's club. You know what else is kind of ironic and funny? The fact that Maximilian Robespierre actually sent thousands and thousands of people to the guillotine, and then he himself was arrested, and accused of tyranny and dictatorship and was guillotined himself. Violence seems to end violence.
