<span>At night the fair was lit by electricity. Who would light the fair would soon light the World. Edison and Westinghouse both put in bids to light the fair. General Electric Company (Edison’s and Morgan’s company) first bid to light the fair for $1.8 million. That bid did not go over well. The two did a second bid worth $554,000. Unbeknownst to General Electric, George Westinghouse, armed with Tesla’s new induction motor, proposed to light the fair for $399,000. Westinghouse won the contract. The effect of winning the bid would change history. Tesla's AC polyphase system would be on display for not only the US to see but the whole world. Originally, Tesla planned on using GE bulbs but Edison, still miffed, would not sell to Tesla and Westinghouse. Instead, Westinghouse came up with a more efficient double-stopper light bulb.</span>

Why the american revolution was better than the french revolution
qwelly [4]

Answer:

We should rather say that the American Revolution was an accomplished social and political project, which the French Revolution was not.

The 13 colonies of America issued a Declaration of Independence and passed a Constitution that were constructed around many ideals of the Enlightenment, incorporating the ideas of personal liberty, right to life, pursuit of happinness as natural rights of men. The best fruit of the Revolutionary War is the birth of the United States, a successful democratic republic.

The French Revolution proclaimed the Rights of Man and was also inspired by the lofty ideals of Enlightenment. It was radical, having overthrown and beheaded a king, an astonishing event in a monarchy-dominated Europe.  However, the revolution  in France led to chaos, power abuses abd revolutionary terror. The revolution ended in 1799, when Napoleon Bonaparte took power. A few years later, he crowned himself as emperor.
