American Revolution
What makes you think that the Enlightenment led to the American Revolution? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but there are other viewpoints at hand. America was destined to leave Great Britain; they were forced into the Revolution by the oppression of Great Britain. Tyranny led to the questioning of the British government, and perhaps the Enlightenment is wrongly accredited with this particular moment in U.S. history. Jeffrey W.

- Definitely not. Although there may have been Churches burned I think without further background information that claim makes no sense in the context of Enlightenment thought. I think the original contributor wanted to highlight that the Enlightenment had negative effects on the French Revolution, which it did but there are more tactful ways of writing that. I will work on it. Church of the Trail 09:54, 14 June 2011 (EDT)
