- 33: French Revolution: 1790: Wrap up Part 2
Join Kimi and Emily for part 2 of talking about the year 1790 in the French Revolution, one of the messiest years we have gone over yet, on either side. In the second half of 1790, French Revolution focused on implementing key reforms, such as reorganizing administrative divisions into departments and enforcing the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which sought to bring the Catholic Church under state control. These measures intensified divisions between revolutionaries and conservative factions, laying the groundwork for future conflicts and unrest.

49 min - 32: French Revolution: 1790 Wrap Up part 1
This week we are going over a wrap up of the second year of the french revolution, 1790. In part 1, we are talking about the ways the French Revolution saw the consolidation of revolutionary changes as the National Assembly continued its efforts to dismantle the old regime, including the abolition of feudal privileges and the establishment of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. This period marked significant progress in restructuring French society, though it also set the stage for growing tensions between revolutionary ideals and traditional institutions.

54 min - 31: Phillis Wheatley Part 2
After marrying John Peters in 1778, Phillis Wheatley faced significant hardships. Her husband, John Peters was imprisoned for debt, leaving Phillis to struggle with financial instability and the challenges of being a woman of color during the revolution and during the first few years of a brand new nation. Despite these difficulties, she continued to write and sought to support herself and her growing family through poetry. Overall, Wheatley’s life and success as a poet, was overshadowed by the struggles of poverty and illness until her death in 1784
