Revolution

The Atlantic Revolution and their Echoes the American, French, Haitian, and the South American seems like all the citizens of these countries were all fighting for the same reasons. They fought for polities, slavery, nationalism and taxes was one of their big issues as well.  All of these countries really just wanted to run their governments all in their own way or in other countries the Monarchies really just wanted to rule everyone. For this reason is way they started classes such as low, middle and high class. All of these citizens fought for their freedom, equality, and religious believes. After reading the chapter what really called my attention was the Revolution of Haitian. The White had about 8,000 plantations which is a very hug number.  The white made the Haitian people work very hard making them produce about 40 percent of the sugar and coffee in the world. It’s interesting how they Haitian natives over powered the white fighting for their rights which I thought was really amazing. The white’s got to experience with the Haitians natives’ people experience which was a lot of pain and sadness.
