:England lost all decency within its great country. It was organized chaos. America gained more citizens by it because people in England got fed up with everything that was going on. (Nate)

:During the religious wars in England, there was a large exodus from England and people traveled to the New World or America. At that time, when a person left home to travel across the world to another place, that person would have to be pretty adventurous to do so. England lost most of its adventurous and creative people which likely slowed down its growth with inventions and knowledge. Now as the New World became known as the United States, this new land had a large group of adventurous people that would be the foundation for this nation. All men created equal and each man could make his fortune based on ability, not birthright. (Sandro)
3. The [[French Revolution]]: all bad, or was there something good about it?

:The American Revolution was a turning point for the world. Different mind-sets and outlooks on life create different results, and by comparing the French Revolution and the American Revolution, this becomes evident. The American Revolution sought complete freedom for it's people, in the world that they could create. (Anna)

:I chose to write about the Haitian Revolution because I was born there, and when I visit Haiti I arrive in the airport named after Toussaint L'Overture, and I see statues of the revolutionary heroes. Haiti won its independence from France on January 1, 1804. It was the slaves that revolted again the French, and it became the first independent black republic. Independence didn’t help the people much, because dictators took over the government and ruined the country. It is said that a black slave named Boukman made a pact with the devil by promising to give him the land for 200 years if he would help them win the war. Even in 2003, the president in Haiti made voodoo an official religion. I think Haiti suffers today from the voodoo that most people still practice. (Steven)
5. Why do you think it took the [[world]] so long before revolutions started occurring?

:One reason why it took the world so long for revolutions to occur was just because people didn’t know that they were possible. Just like the European philosophers and the concept of “zero”, how could you discover or use something that you didn’t know existed? (Olivia)

:In Roman times, the emperor would probably have pretty harsh taxes, and the people would be upset with it. But the tax collectors would take more than what the actual tax was. This made the people angrier at the collector than the emperor. There wouldn’t be much cause of an uproar for just one or two tax collectors, but when you have a [[Monarchy]], there’s only one guy to go to. (Jonathan R.)
:... People believ[ed] that rulers really were appointed by God to rule (and in some cases, actually believed the ruler ''was'' God). During the 1800s, people started becoming unhappy with leaders becoming more corrupt. Most everyone joined into that notion, even those who lived in countries that did not have very corrupt rulers. (Tom)
:Because they probably doubted it could be done. Hardly in history had tehre ever been a successful revolution and people were hesitant to attempt the impossible. When America showed the world it was possible, they realized they could do it too. (John)

:Neither. I think that they both go hand in hand. I think that both are expressions of moods of the people. I don’t think that one leads the other; I would say that if one seems to be leading the other, it is simply manifesting itself earlier. I would say that in fact, it is the philosophers, thinkers, and scholars that lead both politics and art, because they are the most direct influence on the mood of the people. (Michelle)

:Art precedes politics because art depicts what the people living in that time period are thinking and their opinions of the government, religion, or society which greatly affects the people in power who try to satisfy the people. The revolutionary art and also music describes the new method of thinking and lifestyles. Romanticism was a movement defined by mostly art and music in the 19th century. It defined the emotion and imagination that many artists felt at that time. Romanticism was a way for artists to express themselves and their ideas in art instead of focusing mostly on the likeness of reality. This type of art brought a new way of thinking and may have help initiate the many revolutions that were going on at that time. (Veronika)

:In China, movements toward revolution began to spread. In 1911 a rebellion arose, and it ended the rule of the Qinq dynasty. Reformers in China rejected Confucianism and sought to give more rights to the poor and workers. The revolutions marked the beginning of strife and unrest for China, which would lead to its establishment as a Communist nation. (Kara)
