In this unit you will consider the way that revolutionary ideas can be transmitted and take on a life of their own. When you have read the chapter and the discussion and documents of the French Revolution carefully, write a short essay of 250-500 words which considers how Olympe de Gouges and Toussaint L’Ouverture, as well as the Haitian Declaration of Independence, are in conversation with previous documents but state their own and original political demands for women and enslaved people of color. Be sure to give examples and quotations to support your arguments.
When you have posted your own essay, comment on two others.
