CH 16 Part 2

The Atlantic revolutions had effects that echoed all over, such as British looking to colonize around their area since they lost the colonies in North America. It's funny to see how these small things ended up changing the world and starting other movements. I never knew thought the enlightenment thinkers had a lot to do with abolishing slavery. Britain was a role model for many other countries and so when slavery was abolished there, others soon followed. The need for slaves was also decreasing, and that drove the price of slaves down. There're still people who believed in slavery and even after was abolished so many laws were created that still made them feel like they were still slaves. And even after slavery was gone a new form of slavery was just introduced. They looked not to Africa but the other countries to replace these people as indentured servants. That still happens today whether or not we want to believe that. 

Another movement that was created from this was becoming a nation and what nationalism means for certain people and territories. This is when people start to truly identify with certain cultures and regions and started to group themselves. These nations would teach history of the people of that area to the kids and people. Certain nations broke down the population based on different things, such as race, class and gender.

Another major movement from the Atlantic revolutions it Is the feminist movement. Throughout the Atlantic revolutions, we learn that woman part took and a lot of them movements. Yet they were not allowed to voice their opinion or be equal because it scared a lot of men. But they suddenly realized that they needed to be and are equal to men. Women started to seek more for themselves become their own person outside of their husband. Women are starting to become more educated and started to slowly gain more things they didn't have before. Although there was no big win this was the birth of the feminist movement. And this is still of movement that we are dealing with today. It Is crazy to see how this is still an issue today but at least we have made some progress. We still see this inequality today, even with having kids, most people would prefer to have a boy. So while their house in progress we still have a long way to go.
