Part II: Reading: "The Beginning of the French Revolution, 1789"
Read the letters of Thomas Jefferson from the French Revolution and answer in 3-5 paragraphs: what position did Jefferson take on the French Revolution and why, using information or quotes from the reading as evidence. Was his perspective what you would expect from someone who was instrumental in the American Revolution, or was it different? Don't forget to watch the lecture and note what the relationship was between the French and the American Revolution to help complete your answer.
