Monuments and Memories in the Atlantic Revolutions

---

This module offers an introduction to three powerful, interconnected revolutions that changed the political trajectory of the world, and the ways they have been commemorated in monuments across time. Through two weeks of class, students will examine the events and legacies of the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions, consider their values and motivations, and reflect on their legacies. In addition, the module examines the variety of monuments that have since been created to commemorate these revolutions, what events and people they remember, what parts they forget, and how they have changed over time.
