In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, New World colonies and Old World countries were undergoing revolutions and reforms. In North America, the United States created an economic and political power; the first major nation in the modern world to become a democracy. The Haitian Rebellion dramatically inspired other slaves and others to rise above the government and achieve the right to freedom. The French Revolution virtually destroyed its previous absolute monarchy and caused the people to fight for social and political systems that treated them fairly and gave them more of a voice in government. The ideas and responses to the American, French, and Haitian revolutions illustrate political upheavals in each government, change in social autonomy and a new sense of pride, as well as intellectual change and innovations. An additional document that would help analyze these revolutions would be a written document of one person's account and emotional insight into what it was like to live during a revolution. One of the major ideas of these revolutions was that the people of these regions wanted to formulate a new government. in which he would grant freedom to more people and actually be able to listen to the people. In British periodicals, illustrations show British civil servants tarred and feathered; a humiliating event for anyone (Doc 2). This represents American public opinion towards British political leaders and their demand for freedom and justice. The Declaration of Independence declares that the United States wants a government that is just, responsive to the voice of the people, and composed of the people (Doc 3). The Declaration of Independence shows how middle of paper ideas......people join in revolt and other countries think about rebellions and revolutions (Doc 6). Political uprisings, national pride and changing social statuses, as well as intellectual innovations, were all ideas and responses to revolutions. Ideas and responses to those ideas were important factors in the outcome of these revolutions. Political growth and the search for freedom led to the overthrow and struggle against governments. The feeling of equality, the change of social autonomy and nationalism led to revolutions in France, America and Haiti. The influences of intellectual ideas led to more people being involved in the revolutions of these regions. These revolutions change the world, making the United States the greatest power in the world, the Haitian people gaining freedom, and the complete overthrow of the absolute monarchy in France..
