Unit 5 - Topic 5.2: Atlantic Revolutions Comparison (AMSCO pgs.285-293)
American Revolution
1765-1783
French Revolution
1789-1799
Haitian Revolution
1791-1804
What factors
caused this
revolution? Be
specific.
Taxation from the British caused
mass outrage, and when revolts
began in Boston, the Boston
Massacre occurred. This caused
American Colonists to start revolts
and delegates were making
decisions that Parliament would
make.
King Louis XVI and Queen Marie
Antoinette’s lavish spending and the
inability to rule or manage the government
required the Estates General to be
summoned for the first time in over 100
years. The voting system made the Third
Estate feel overruled by the other 2
estates, meaning that the peasants and
average civilians were not going to see
change. The Tennis Court Oath then made
the Third Estate join until the King listened
to their demands.
There were 500,000 slaves, and only
40,000 whites. There were also 30,000
people of color that were free. The
French Revolution challenged Slave
Labor, which was triggered by rumors
that Louis XVI declared an end to
slavery. This caused 1,000 plantations
to burn.
What were the
desires/goals of
Revolutionaries?
The goal was to become
independent from Great Britain.
The Colonists had enough of
taxation and persecution by the
Britain colonies.
The goal was to have Louis XVI to
abdicate as King of France, allowing a
republic rather than a monarchy.
Their goal was to revolt to no longer be
used for forced labor and have freedoms
that the 570,000 people also had.
