The French Revolution was considered to be the "centerpiece" and starting point for the Atlantic Revolutions. The Haitians followed them with the first successful slave revolt in history. These were only two of the many Revolts and Revolutions made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. All of the Revolutions were said to have shaped most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The North American Revolution took place from 1775-1787. In simple terms, it was a struggle for Independence from British rule. The Declaration of Independence started the struggle, followed by a military victory in 1781. Even with gaining independence, British soldiers still held a tight reign on the thirteen colonies. Britain began to get power hungry, imposing new taxes and tariffs on the colonies with no consent from them whatsoever. Even with the long struggle, we were still yet to be fully independent from the Brits.
