CONNECTIONS: As you work on the chart, jot down any connections that you find between the various revolutions. USE THE OTHER SIDE IF YOU WISH.



CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS PRACTICE FOR THE MIDTERM. THEY INCLUDE INFORMATION THAT YOU WILL BE SEEING ON THE MIDTERM.

AS YOU WORK ON THEM, CONSIDER HOW YOU ARE USING EVIDENCE TO MAKE A CASE.

ALSO, EMPLOY EVIDENCE FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF SOURCES AND REGIONS.

AND AT SOME POINT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OTHER SOURCES. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO THINK BROADLY AND TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR GROUP.

DON’T BE A DEAD WEIGHT…THINK BROADLY…CONTRIBUTE TO THE INTELLECTUAL ENVIRONMENT!



1. In what ways did the Atlantic revolutions and their echoes give a new and distinctive shape to the emerging societies of nineteenth-century Europe and the Americas?

2. Do revolutions originate in oppression and injustice, in the weakening of political authorities, in new ideas, or in the activities of small groups of determined activists?


3. "The influence of revolutions endured long after they ended."  To what extent does this chapter support or undermine this idea?(nationalism, for instance)

4. In what ways did the ideas of the Enlightenment contribute to the Atlantic revolutions?

5. What accounts for the end of Atlantic slavery during the nineteenth century?

6. What were the achievements and limitations of nineteenth-century feminism? How is a movement like feminism similar to or different from a revolution like the French or Haitian?
