Week Five

The Echoes of Atlantic Revolution were influenced by the Enlightentment because the Enlightenment because it was a time that people were thinking for self, it was the age of man and how people thought for themself instead of letting the church dictate what they beleive. It was about seeking truth and seeking evidence through science not because the bible said so. The feminist movement, nationalism, and the abolotion of slavery were echoes of  Atlantic Revolution that were each trying to seek justice for a specific cause.

The Feminist movement was women challenging male dominance, they wanted to the same rights and treatment that men were given. Women were tired of being treated like second class citizens or not even human by men. 

Abolotionist were fighting to abolish slavery for the obvious reasons because it was bad and so many countries were depending on the labor of slaves to sustain their economies. That was not going to continue to work well, especially when countries like Haiti had revolted against their oppressors and became the first slaves to claim their indepence.
