33: French Revolution: 1790: Wrap up Part 2

Join Kimi and Emily for part 2 of talking about the year 1790 in the French Revolution, one of the messiest years we have gone over yet, on either side. In the second half of 1790, French Revolution focused on implementing key reforms, such as reorganizing administrative divisions into departments and enforcing the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which sought to bring the Catholic Church under state control. These measures intensified divisions between revolutionaries and conservative factions, laying the groundwork for future conflicts and unrest.

32: French Revolution: 1790 Wrap Up part 1

This week we are going over a wrap up of the second year of the french revolution, 1790. In part 1, we are talking about the ways the French Revolution saw the consolidation of revolutionary changes as the National Assembly continued its efforts to dismantle the old regime, including the abolition of feudal privileges and the establishment of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. This period marked significant progress in restructuring French society, though it also set the stage for growing tensions between revolutionary ideals and traditional institutions.

After marrying John Peters in 1778, Phillis Wheatley faced significant hardships. Her husband, John Peters was imprisoned for debt, leaving Phillis to struggle with financial instability and the challenges of being a woman of color during the revolution and during the first few years of a brand new nation. Despite these difficulties, she continued to write and sought to support herself and her growing family through poetry. Overall, Wheatley’s life and success as a poet, was overshadowed by the struggles of poverty and illness until her death in 1784

29: Marie-Jeanne Phlipon Roland “Manon” Phlipon Roland “Madame Roland”Part 2

After 1789, Marie-Jeanne Roland's life became increasingly tumultuous as the French Revolution unfolded. Initially active in revolutionary politics and an influential figure in the Girondin faction, she faced growing opposition from the radical Jacobins. Her husband's political positions and their moderate stance led to their downfall. In 1793, following the fall of the Girondins, Marie-Jeanne was arrested, and she spent months imprisoned in Paris. Ultimately, she was executed by guillotine in November 1793, a tragic end for a woman who had once been a prominent advocate for revolutionary ideals Sources: Wikipedia: Madame Roland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Roland Britannica: Jeanne-Marie Roland: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jeanne-Marie-Roland Library of Congress: Research Guides: Manon Roland: https://guides.loc.gov/women-in-the-french-revolution/manon-roland AEON: Vive Madame Roland!: https://aeon.co/essays/manon-roland-revolutionary-philosopher-and-housewife Heritage History: Madame Roland (Marie-Jeanne Phlipon Roland):https://www.heritage-history.com/index.php?c=resources&s=char-dir&f=mroland Alpha History: Madame Roland: https://alphahistory.com/frenchrevolution/madame-roland/

23: U.S. Revolutionary War: 1st Year of War: A summary

In 1775, the American Revolutionary War escalated dramatically. The year began with skirmishes such as the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April, marking the first military engagements between colonial militia and British troops. These clashes fueled colonial sentiment against British rule and bolstered the call for independence. The siege of Boston followed, with colonial forces tightening their grip around the city. Meanwhile, George Washington was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in June, signaling a pivotal moment in the colonies' unified resistance. By year's end, tensions were high, battles were fought, and the stage was set for a full-scale war for independence in the coming years.

22: French Revolution: 1789 First Year of War: A Summary

In 1789, France experienced rapid and transformative events during the early phase of the French Revolution. The storming of the Bastille on July 14th symbolized popular resistance against royal authority and marked the escalation of revolutionary actions across the country. In August, the National Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, affirming principles of liberty and equality while challenging the monarchy's absolute power. Economic turmoil and food shortages continued to fuel unrest, leading to the Women's March on Versailles in October, where thousands of Parisian women demanded bread and brought the royal family back to Paris. By the end of the year, significant reforms were underway, including the abolition of feudal privileges and the restructuring of France's political institutions, setting the stage for further profound changes in the years ahead.
