This week we were introduced to chapter 16: Atlantic Revolutions, Global Echoes

(1750-1900). I learned that revolutions change things, but not always the same things quickly

or permanently (Strayer & Nelson, 2022). This was a critical moment in history because it

showed that there was more than one way to achieve social justice and change. I also learned

that the social outcomes of the revolution were more varied. For example, while workers gained

2022). Instead, it led to an equal society by ending the legal privileges that those with

aristocratic bloodlines had enjoyed. The revolutionaries also ended what little remained of legal

independence against France, which lasted until 1815; Napoleon Bonaparte led them. The

revolution also affected many other countries around Europe and even America, which didn't
