chapter 16 pt. 2 and docs

Enlightenment thinkers began to believe that slavery was a violation of peoples natural rights as the revolutions promoted peoples independence and following the Haitian revolution came three more slave rebellions. While it didn't come easy, the abolition of Atlantic slavery came about in the 19th century and changed a lot of moral and social interactions but didn't really improve newly freed slaves economic situations. The other thing that the Atlantic Revolutions promoted was the idea of a nation and nationalism. People began really wanting independence for their nation that they belonged to, starting with the independence of the colonies in the Americas from 1776-1825. Governments began to act on behalf of their nations and tried to intentionally engrave national loyalties in their citizens through schools, public rituals, the mass media, and military service. Unfortunately for conservatives, nationalism could be used to go against ideologies such as socialism and feminism. Their reasoning was that those movements only divided the nation by class or gender differences. Therefore nationalism created controversy instead of uniting people because it didn't make it clear who belonged to the nation or who should speak for it. The last thing that the echoes had a really big impact on were feminist ideals. The fight for the suffrage of woman was pushed and eventually accomplished therefore giving women a big push on the topic of women's roles in society. Obviously not everyone was happy about the feminist movement and they had to find extreme allies to help them. For Russia some examples of this was in the socialist and anarchist circles.
