How did Enlightenment thinking and the American example influence French revolutionary ideals? (Check textbook pages 528-529 for

Aneli [31]

Answer with Explanation:

"Enlightenment thinking" refers to a philosophical movement which occurred in the 17th and 18th century. This movement focused on "reason" or "logic" especially when it comes to people's natural rights.

This kind of thinking influenced the Americans, especially when it comes to their economic struggles and rights. For example, the Americans thought that their taxation system was unfair. The French also had a similar thought that their taxation was discriminating. The Americans felt that some of the rights were only granted to particular groups of people in the society. In the same manner, French people also thought the same way. So, when the Americans revolted against Great Britain during the "Revolutionary War," the French saw how it happened. They were, in fact, "key participants" in the war. This, somehow, influenced or set the stage for their uprising (the French Revolution).

Thus, this explains the answer.

Vinvika [58]

the poem by Whitley is significant because of the two reasons:

D) It is among the first literary works published by an African American.

) It is the first literary work to assert African equality to whites.

Whitley uses a narrative unfamiliar to many of her peer slaves of the time to deliver her message in her eight stanza poem. She appears calm,composed and appreciative of conversion to christianity, while using its fundamental believes and ethics to counteract the issue of black hatred that had permeated good white christians.
