Blog #33 Similarities between the Revolutions

Sorry, guys and gals, that this wasn't posted until this morning. The due date is adjusted below.

So we have studied four different revolutions in this class (American, French, Haitian, Latin America), all in different regions of the world, and all within a fifty year time period.  Please answer the following two questions about these revolutions:

1. What do these revolutions have in common?  Explain.
  - things to think about are who is revolting?  What are the reasons why they are rebelling?  Which system of government / economy is being attacked?  Are there similarities between the leaders of the revolutions? How successful were these revolutions (yes, they all succeeded, but how did they conform to Enlightenment ideals?)?

2. Which of these four is the least similar to the rest?  Why?

This blog is due Wednesday, May 13 by the beginning of class. 250 words minimum.
