Revolutions open: 1688–1789 map of ideas

Analyze the Atlantic revolutions through primary sources, comparing causes, phases, and outcomes (C3 D2.His.1.9-12, D2.His.14.9-12). American Revolution: the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) claimed "unalienable Rights" to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"; the war ended with the Treaty of Paris (1783). Slavery continued, a contradiction critics noted at the time. French Revolution phases: the Estates-General and storming of the Bastille (1789); the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (August 1789); constitutional monarchy; the Republic and execution of Louis XVI (1793); the Terror under the Committee of Public Safety (1793–94); the Directory; Napoleon's coup (1799). Haitian Revolution (1791–1804): enslaved people in French Saint-Domingue rose up; Toussaint Louverture led much of the struggle; Jean-Jacques Dessalines declared independence on January 1, 1804, making Haiti the first nation founded by formerly enslaved people and the first independent Black republic. Olympe de Gouges's Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen (1791) asked why the "rights of man" excluded women; she was executed in 1793. Comparison: the American Revolution kept much of its social order; the French remade institutions and turned violent; the Haitian ended slavery and was met with isolation, including an 1825 French indemnity demand of 150 million francs. Document: Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789). Claim: "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights." Context: debt crisis and Third Estate grievances. Limit: women and enslaved people largely excluded at first. Build a comparison chart (causes, key documents, leaders, phases, outcomes, who was included) for the American, French, and Haitian revolutions using one primary source for each. Usual mistake: Treating the revolutions as identical, or leaving out Haiti.
