Revolutions and the consequences that they caused

       As the book states, we all learned about the North American Revolution in school.  And what we learned that the people were trying to gain independence from the British.  But, I have to admit, I did not know much about the French and the Haitian revolution.  The Spanish American revolution I also heard a little about this.  What I do know about the Spanish revolution is that they caused a lot of suffering to the native people in different areas of the world. Being from Spanish descent, I am ashamed to have Spanish in my blood.  They caused a lot of pain and suffering to the native people. But, they were not the only ones.  

Even though each countries evolution had different reasons to start it, they all had one thing in common, suffering.  This was the consequence for the people who were involved in these revolutions.  The French and Haitian revolutions included genocide against the slaves, which brought upon the revolt.  

These revelations included good and bad things, it brought a lot of change to the people and communities that were involved.  But it also brought a lot of suffering in result of this.  It makes me ask, was it all worth it? It was definitely worth it for the people that revolted against the treatment that they were receiving.  Things like slavery had to be stopped no matter what the consequence.  Things like unfair taxation, I don’t think so.
