Fight for your rights, just without the Beastie Boys (sadly), in this episode. We’ll learn about the ideas of the Enlightenment first before diving into revolutions in the United States, France, Haiti, and throughout Latin America. We’ll also see the new ideologies and nationalistic passions that emerge from this turbulent time period.
