| HSTY 176 - Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? The Age of Revolutions, 1750-1850 |
|
An introduction to the political and social upheavals that transformed the Atlantic world in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The “Age of Revolutions” bore witness to the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions as well as a series of Latin American wars for independence. These conflicts disrupted established economies, social hierarchies, and political orders throughout the imperial Atlantic world. Together they offer a means of exploring the causes, trajectories, limits, and consequences of the revolutionary movements that gave birth to modern democratic politics and replaced a world dominated by empires with one composed of independent states. This course fulfills the State law requiring study of the United States and Massachusetts constitutions.
