Description:

An examination of the "revolutionary moment" that engulfed the Atlantic world at the end of the 18 th century. Structured around two simulations, the first set in New York in 1775 and the other in Paris in 1791, students assess the impact of ideas on people's actions, the roles of contingency and accident in history, and the nature of revolution as they act out the roles of people who struggled to make sense of chaotic times, when many believed that the world could and should be made anew.
