Did the atlantic revolutions fulfill or betray the goals of those who made them? Consider this question from both short term and long term perspectives.

The Atlantic Revolutions were a revolutionary wave in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Explanation:

Latin American revolution did not fulfill the goals of the revolution. Although they gained independence from Spain, the social construct did not change. This is the opposite of the Haitian Revolution. In Haiti, the slaves fought against slavery in many violent protest including burning of plantations. Ultimately, the whole social construct reversed from French officials and les grands blancs on top and the slaves on the bottom to les grands blancs not being a part of society and the slaves on top. In the long run, the large plantations supported the whole economy of Haiti and once slavery was abolished, the small farms did not come close to the same profit. In this way, the economical impact of the revolution was not successful, but the social change was far worth it. The French revolution was all about gaining equal rights for all citizens, especially in the 3rd estate. The Rights of Man was one resolution for the goal of the French revolution. The French revolution accomplished their goal.
