    Haudenosaunee Confederacy

    The Haudenosaunee started out as the Five Nations, became the Six Nations in 1722. They lived and acted upon Haudenosaunee policies which allowed them to live on the reserve or off until the federal government became involved in 1924, changing the policies. But to this day, the Haudenosaunee follows their own polices and ways.

    Changes to class system

    Changes to class system
    As classical liberalism took a more dominate role, society began to change as we knew it began to change. Social classes were slowly getting demolished. This meant more economic opportunities, ones that had previously not been present before, allowing them to become wealthy and join a higher economic class. An idea that was unheard of before.

    Reformation

    Reformation refers to a series of events that happened in the 16th century in the Christian Church. Because of the corruption within the Catholic Church, some people saw a need to change the way it worked. Religious posts were often sold to whoever was willing to pay the most money for them. This meant many priests did not know much about Christianity. So they told the people many different things. Some of the things had little to do with what was written in the Bible.

    American Revolution

    French Revolution

    The French Revolution was a long, significant period of social and political upheaval in France and its colonies. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic and catalyzed violent periods of political turmoil.
