Chapter 17 (499-504)

What caught my attention about this reading was that although the North American Revolution was looked at as a "new order of ages" and slavery was slowly beginning to abolish in the northern states, women and people of color were still not allowed to participate in the widening of politics. Not that they weren't allowed, but it was looked down upon and thought of as impossible for those already in the politics authority as well as the people individually. But now guess what ... OBAMA !!!
