Age of Atlantic Revolution will study the 1760-1830 revolutions of the United States, France, Haiti, and Latin America emphasizing how they were interconnected as well as uniquely distinct. This defining era in western history largely determined our understanding of rights and citizenship, of the state and sovereignty, and of how trade, labor, and politics ought to be organized within a world of empires and emerging nation-states. We will emphasize individual experiences, the agency of women, the experiences of the enslaved, the impact of indigenous people ,and the role they all played alongside elite statesmen.
