Reflection:
Continuing with Chapter 17, Strayer goes into talking about the history of the French Revolution. From reading this part of history I realized how countries had tensions with one another. From what Thomas Jefferson had said about France..."being awakened by our revolution" shows how this in a way made the French realize about their issues. Meaning the french were on the brink of bankruptcy. From this France started to raise tax trying to fix things. All these little things added up causing a revolution within France. The French Revolution was different from the American Revolution. American Revolution was more of tensions on colonial relationships. From reading this it really shows the audience how the French were more intense compared to the Americans...in a way more aggressive. During this revolution war was going on with each other in the same country...France. From this I just feel sorry and disappointed because one would think if your all living in the same country people should help and support one another since its your neighbor and people. However, during this revolution it did not show that which really makes me "nod my head".
