echoes of revolution chapter 17(507-524)
the Haitian revolution was awesome! it was inspired by equality and french revolution. slaves joining together fighting for their freedom, and they won. it really amazes me that Americans tried to enslave a race twice after not being able to succeed the first time. not just not being able to succeed but after being turned on by their slaves in such an outrageous way.......men have always felt at the top of the latter on the power latter. even when the constitution says "all men are equal" i literally meant all men not women and especially it meant white men not men of color, but back to men they have always felt superior to women. the women movement was a big thing because it wasn't just white women or black women, it was women in general. men acted as if women weren't people as well, like they were just object and didint deserve equal rights to do what they want. the french revolution sparked lots of things so i guess there was good out of it.
