Section Info: Topic: The Age of Revolution Description: The late eighteenth century witnessed a series of revolutions in the Atlantic world that transformed modern history and left a legacy of ideals and conflicts that continue to shape today's world. This course will introduce students to major issues, actors, and outcomes of the revolutionary movements in British North America, France and Saint-Domingue (the modern nation of Haiti). A key component of the course will be two lengthy role-playing re-enactment games. The first will take place in New York in 1775, as patriots and loyalists struggle to control the city. The second game will re-create the 1790-1791 revolutionary National Assembly, which drafted France's first constitution.
