Atlantic Revolution

Although History may seem Eurocentric, during the Atlantic revolution, there were remarkable phenomenas happening based on the spread of knowledge. Physically people were traveling across the Atlantic basin, yielding much more than just tangible cargo. I found it refreshing that people were bringing a new sense of living in terms of liberty, and how people should be treated. It seemed as though people before this time were living a close-minded life, in which they only wanted to believe in what was engrained into them as children. This caused discrepancies when new enlightening ideas arose. Now people were not ordained as sovereigns by Divine Right instead, they governed political positions based on poplar sovereignty. This showed a huge shift in the way people began to govern their lives based on their altered mentalities for how the world was made, and how it should function.
