Revolutions & Rebellions

Fascinating list of revolutions and rebellions on Wikipedia shows just how littered history is with people rising up against what they perceive to be oppression.

Looking at this as I have a developing interest in the early history of the American Revolution, the circumstances and men who formed it, as well as the historical ideological background out of which it seems to have sprung: Natural Law, Freemasonry, the Illuminati, etc. It strikes me that there is a significant lack of common knowledge about this very important time period nowadays.

    Tangential, but you may find it interesting to read Douglas Buchanan’s entry about the Founding Fathers

    Cool, that’s a great resource on the religious and philosophical views of the Founding Fathers!

    Interesting how the French are so aware of time in a way other cultures don’t seem to be:
