I think that the Haitian revolution section should go withing the revolutions (Ameican, French and Haitian). How can we merge it without duplicating the content? Theklan (talk) 18:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
National variations, subheading German states[edit]
From the last pararapgh: "This intellectual elite was favoured by the state, but that might be reversed if the process of the Enlightenment proved politically or socially destabilizing."
This is the past, nothing "might" happen; it either did or didn't. This whole sentence needs reworking because I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Even "could have" could make the sentence better but I think the source needs to be paraphrased differently altogether. 204.15.114.66 (talk) 17:29, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
> As a spill-over of the Enlightenment, nonsecular beliefs expressed first by Quakers and then by Protestant evangelicals in Britain and the United States emerged. To these groups, slavery became "repugnant to our religion" and a "crime in the sight of God."
This is just completely wrong. Slavery was condemned by the early Christian church and Paul in the Bible clearly says do not be a slave and asks in philemon for them to free slaves. Europe mostly ended slavery and moved to serfs so it wasn't new to begin with and the idea stemmed from Christianity. What probably was new was the capitalist conceptions of slavery which seemed to tie freedom to economic freedom or the ability to buy slaves. Slavery increased under capitalism and liberal, i.e. individualist, states while slavery was acted against in Christianity for millennia. I think this statement should be corrected. 122.45.15.68 (talk) 05:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
