I was really happy when i read about the Haitian Revolution. Occured (1791-1804), the haitian revolution was the first successful slave revolt in history. This helped to abolish slavery, extend the right to vote, secure greater equality for woman. I hate to know that blacks were treated with such disrespect. This past spring, i visited the Dominican Republic, with my dad we went out to do a medical mission. and found many Haitians living there.
although they still had not many rights or privlages they were not slaved. they had moved to the D.R. because of the horrible conditions in Haiti, Haiti is still facing many challanges. No rights are found there. I would like to help society become more educated on this issue.
The American Revolution was also an important event that occured in history. Leader Thomas Jefferson, within this time period new ideas of liberty, equality, freedom, religious tolerence, republicanism, and human rationality. I believe the most important revolution that was developed was Democratic revolutions which extended political rights.
In the century following the French Revolution, A huge success towards feminist beginnings took place, especially in Europe & North America. In the twentieth century, feminist thinking changed the way woman and men work, play, think, dress, worship, vote, reproduce. Woman were entering the world of education being able to go to school, instead of staying home raising children, cooking, and cleaning. I think this was my favorite spot in the reading for this week. It is incredible how today Woman are equal to men, and we have a thanks to say for the woman who declared independence.
