Langley compares the political and social histories of three revolutions in the Americas: the American Revolution in 1776, the 1791 slave revolt in the French colony that became Haiti, and the prolonged Spanish -- American struggle for independence. Langley explores the characteristics that distinguished each upheaval, and he shows how the legacies of the revolutionary age affect virtually every modern political issue.
