In the late 1500’s, a revolution began. This period of great change is known as the “Scientific Revolution.” For centuries, mankind had been progressing, but very slowly – especially in the area of science. Medicine was primitive, people’s idea of the universe was very limited and restricted by religious belief, man’s idea of how nature functioned was limited by superstition and fear, and human beings did not even have a basic understanding of how and what they breathed, how they saw or heard, or what ideas or tools were necessary to figure these puzzles out. | In the late 1500’s, a revolution began.

Both the French Revolution and the American Revolution before it were inspired by ideas from the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment, or Age of Enlightenment, was an intellectual movement that began in Western Europe in the mid-1600s and continued until the late 18th century. It created an environment where traditional structures, ideas and practices were questioned and challenged. | |||
