US Independence Inspired Revolutions Around the World
The American Revolution inspired humanitarian revolutions around the world.
We are taught from childhood to be proud of the American Revolution (1765-1783) in a rather self-centered way. Perhaps we should be even more proud of how we once inspired the world.
The American Revolution was one of the inspirations for the French Revolution (1789-1799), the Haitian Revolution (1791-1803) and even the Latin American revolutions that followed after 1810.
Our vision for independence was powerful, but not perfect. Our founding fathers were human slavers which is an inexcusable fail. Yet they inspired the Haitian Revolution which was the beginning of the end of legal human slavery.
It’s worth contemplating what the U.S. Declaration of Independence meant to the world in 1776 and what it means to us now. Can we inspire the world again?
