La Revolución Americana y la Haitiana en el hemisferio Americano, 1776-1804

Abstract

The  following  article  discusses  the  revolutions  that  between  1776  and 1804 experienced  the Atlantic world, noting how  these movements developed concepts such as democracy, equality  and  political participation.  It  also examines  the influence  of  the Enlightenment  in  these  revolutions, especially  in  Haiti,  where freedom  was  considered a fundamental right,  thus  becoming  the  political and social event more meaningful  for  the Caribbean during  this  time, and influencing the Latin American liberation processes.
