Although Great Britain, Spain, and France settled in the Americas, their colonies developed in almost completely different ways, like: The Spaniards colonized mainly in South and Central America for economic purposes, like to grow sugar, which lead its colonies to be mainly plantations; The Frenchs main goals in the Americas were to trade fur with the Native Americans and to find a route to the Pacific Ocean to trade with Asia; and the Britishers came here for two main purposes, one for economic matters and to avoid the religious conflict that was happening in England. Can you know what her job is and and she does it well, but you know, thats what she does. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices. the most consequential is Ukraine. It demolished traditional power structures and transformed how the country was organized and ruled. And so there is some social signaling here. British generals, however, tended toward a lack of imagination and initiative, while those who demonstrated such qualities often were rash. And then, therefore, what that means is however far Trump goes or Marjorie Taylor Green goes, there appears to be no direction they can go that will put them actually truly beyond the pale. In 1777, French volunteers began arriving in support of the revolution, and in 1778 the French government officially allied itself with the new American country against the British. And Ive always liked this formulation that there was absolutely a recessive gene within the Republican party. Look what happened with the riot in January, like, before that, nobody would have ever imagined that. Corrections? Mhmm. So one of the things you talk about that I also talk about. And it was like a breach of trust between right wing media and the audience that they had cultivated to be distrustful. What made the American Revolution look most like a civil war, though, was the reality that about one-third of the colonists, known as loyalists (or Tories), continued to support and fought on the side of the crown. The officers were drawn largely from the gentry and the aristocracy and obtained their commissions and promotions by purchase. Because its like there are two time Trump voters who definitely dont want Trump to run again. But at no point, theyre the sense of Well, thats just too far to be in our coalition. Both revolutions were connected to each other because of the link between France and Haiti, known then as St Domingue. And they they do lean right, absolutely. We are all no longer conservatives were all rhinos. It is. Oh, man. Theres just no question about that. Because then youre aiming straight at liberty. Large billows of smoke blow into the sky. So I wanna talk to all about one of the core causes. Theyre not taking all of what. So it is scary to think about, like, I I dont hope for it and would never wish on it, but its scary and I think that is a possibility just with such polarized ideologies and people seeing that, you know, these things are possible. For this reading, you should be looking for unfamiliar vocabulary words, the major claim and key supporting details, and analysis and evidence. And Ive had the same conversation with folks who say, well, I go first to fox, and then I also look at CNN. And it was that power of the cultural river. Similarly, in early 1775, colonists were preparing for revolution against a power that they felt oppressed their rights and wanted to take away their liberties. So I always say, like, yes, it was a recessive gene that became a dominant gene in part because Donald Trump had a genuine impact and changed a cohort of voters within the Conservative Coalition that, like, actually cared a little bit, maybe about some free market stuff or limited government or like all the normie conservatives, which is I dont know why because I need some broad terms to describe people. I live in Tennessee. He joins Sarah to talk about whether (and how) the United States holds together; and the task of rebuilding trust in our institutions. How did Enlightenment ideas, including ideas about sovereignty, contribute to the Atlantic Revolutions? Well, then I stand you know, more afraid. And I also, like, look at the daily wire and try to find a new source that seems pretty balanced. Thats right. Right. Ive seen the evidence of its crimes is the only reason I would agree with their decision. During the 1600s there was the English Civil War. Is voting less secure now than it was back in the day. The American Revolution The American Revolution was movement that effectively ended British Control and signalled the birth of a new nation, the United States of America. Maybe somebody could explain it to me a divorce from what? So as Howard Kurt said, he was on Fox and said, Im not allowed to cover this. Feeling threatened by this development, King Louis XVI sent an army towards Paris. Thats all the good news. Mhmm. The bad news is the term for that group of people is the exhausted majority. They had the same reason to revolt as the colonist did, they both felt like they were being oppressed, overtaxed and felt like they were. I wouldnt be surprised if it took another civil war, to be honest. This is a guy whos a slave owner. So Im gonna say something again, which is that this is another situation where I I listen to these people, and theyre telling you that they dont know where to go for the truth. Sarah, one of them one. Of a national divorce, but I want to play you just as a setup here. And so thats why, you know, when I think about National Unity going forward, that exhausted majority So long as the operative word is exhausted and not majority, we face a problem. Theyre gonna go to Tucker, to Laryngrom, to Sean Hannity. The American Revolution was a political separation between Britain and the original Thirteen Colonies. Thats about hundred Biden. Actually, just to back up your point, were calling it the anti anti national divorce sentiment, which is exactly what youre just describing. It occurred between the years 1765 and 1783, resulting in a lot of bloodshed and casualties. A bloody, crowded battle scene shows Haitian revolutionaries fighting for their independence against European colonizers. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink a federal government. And the reappraisal interestingly wasnt just on twenty twenty two. Until early in 1778, the American Revolution was a civil war within the British Empire, but it became an international war as France (in 1778) and Spain (in 1779) joined the colonies against Britain. I just think shes like the AOC on the left side.
A Comparison and Contrast of The American and The French Revolution How did they differ? Yes Ma'am Resources. Divided We Fall: Americas Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation (by David French), https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/26/opinion/fox-news-lies-dominion.html, Learn more about your ad choices. The leaders of the French Revolution were inspired by the American Revolution with its established representative democracy. Thats the key here is that. And when I drill down, I find out that they dont actually. Oh, man. And so thats sort of this core vision of pluralism. This whole voting system is ridiculous. Because its like state run media, like what they have in China. only as a way they would ask what happened to Tucker is if Tucker started to question what was happening at Fox, Right? This is never gonna happen. Okay. So when Russia invades Ukraine, you can see this instant instinctive response on the right to oppose Russian aggression. With such an ideological basis, it becomes clear when one sets out to compare the French Revolution and American Revolution that people felt the need to be free from oppressive or tyrannical rule of absolute monarchs and have the ability to live independent from such forces. Were clustering culturally. There are forces that are stretching us and pulling us. So its been a a minority of it is now in which makes it far more powerful. The French, Haitian, and American Revolutions were all sparked from the minds of the colonists, slaves, or lower classes who were treated with inequality by their own governments. We can make this happen. During the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the representatives adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4. And Pence and McConnell who opposed Trumps attempt to overturn the election, their approval rating dropped to such an extent that Mike Pence now who may well run for president is widely viewed as having no standing, no meaningful standing. For a national divorce or a civil war. This is a group that dislikes Donald Trump, wants to move on to Ron DeSantis. What did the American Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man have in common? Im glad you gave me the segue. The French Revolution was not successful in forming a democratic government due to Frances history of a monarchy, economic issues and divison among its people. And so when you talk to somebody who liked those folks in the focus group, Its like peeling an onion of manufactured distrust. Success is one thing all of these revolutions have in common. Few acts by the crown roused so much antagonism in America as that use of foreign mercenaries. The war was therefore one fought by small field armies. A cause of the French Revolution was Louis XIV's pursuit of absolute authority. People are really angry or whatever. The colony made these profits through enslaved labor. The french did not have much of a trained army its was more of a rebellion of a certain class of people because not all classes of people supported the french revolution. The American Revolution turned the American society into a republic, as the French Revolution eventually led the French society into dictatorship and more chaos in the, The American and French Revolution both had similar stages that a revolution consists of having a normal stage, widespread dissatisfaction, and the transfer of power and effect. No matter their credentials. I honestly could see that in our cards in the near future because I dont see what else aside from some huge radical change like that is going to do. Yes. States could not support an established church. I mean, this is where you get West Virginia, for example, East Tennessee. Every child learns of the American Revolution at least once in their lives. And I think the fox revelation should be very sobering because what they have told us is that, you know, weve talked about the power of leadership leadership has exerted such power for so long, that Im starting to wonder how much attempts to counter the flow of this river. Suddenly, the Latin American colonies found themselves without a direct European power telling them what to do. French The majority of the people did not want the revolution (American, French, or Both?) And thats a classic example of how the old instincts meet the new coalition. The Americans and French both had a normal stage in which they were ruled by and monarchs were chosen in a traditional way. And one of the things I talk about a lot is my favorite parable, I guess. Mhmm. Theyre passive participants and commentators about events that theyre not in control of that theyre not gonna exert their will over one way or the other. Overview: In this lesson, students will analyze primary and secondary sources using the OPTIC strategy. And the answer is one sentence. My guest today is David French, newly minted New York Times opinion columnist and author of divided We Fall Americas secession threat and how to restore our nation.

A few people did it all four years of his presidency, but it was really really hard And by twenty twenty, you know, one of the things that I saw in this very red area of America where I live is people hadnt just given in to the course of the river. Get me David French. Most men are on horseback, fighting with swords. So when we asked about hundred Biden and we said, well, would you trust them if they prosecute you at hundred Biden, hundred percent of his head went up right away.
