This chapter is suspiciously short. I don't know what that means for the difficulty of the test, but I doubt it bodes well.

Oh that looks great Kendal, I don’t have anything to add, I like how you separated them! and yes ah the Chapter was relatively short but also very full and interesting! I think it is so strange to read about how morality shifts over time, reading about slavery and how radical feminism was almost startling as I think I I take it fore-granted now. It is also sort of the feeling I get after Schindler's list, how could this have happened? How could we really not believe in the equality of all men, or blind ourselves and say that slavery and the subordination of females was a necessary part of life? What does this even mean about humanity goodness

Here's a shot at MQ #2: What was revolutionary about the American Revolution, and what was not? (I'm not sure that I got all the points... but here goes)

Some people like to have stories to attach what we learn to. Here is a mental story I have to keep the revolutions separate in my mind.:

I think that is great! And a technique that can work well for most people.

The Spanish American revolutions were a group of delinquents at finishing school sent their by their strict, rich parents: Portugal and Spain. However, Spain and Portugal's companies went bankrupt when Napoleon bought up all the industry. The students at the finishing school realized their parents will be coming over and selling their cars and private jets and mansions for money, so they rallied under the student council presidents Simon Bolivar and Jose San Martin. Since they didn't have many similarities, they decided to rally as a collective whole known as "rich kids" to rebel everyone coming to take their stuff, which they labeled as "broke parents". After they drove out their parents to the streets, some of the less rich kids started complained about having less money than the others, and this caused arguments in the school, preventing the development of the student council as a whole. As a result, the Spanish American Finishing school could never compete with the Boy Frats of America.

hey all :) Big picture #1 asked what categories would best separate a chart comparing the four revolutions looked at in this chapter (North American, French, Haitian, Spanish American), and Mabel, Melissa, and I attempted to map out this chart with these categories:

These are great. Everything you need to know or say will fit into these.
