Romanticism is a intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in western Europe and gained strength during and after the industrial revolution.Romanticism has been seen as "the revival of the life and thought of the Middle Ages".They have models to elevate medievalism and elements of art and narrative perceived to be authentically medieval.It was a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the age of enlightenment. This had huge impact on most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature.Romanticism reached beyond the ideal models to elevate a revived mercantilism and elements of art and narrative perceived to be authentically medieval, they try to  escape the confines of population growth, urban sprawl it also attempted to embrace the exotic, unfamiliar, and distant in modes.The confines of the Industrial Revolution also had their influence on Romanticism, which was in part an escape from modern realities.  In the second half of the 19th century realism was offered as a polarized opposite to Romanticism.

The British Empire





The British Empire
The British Empire declared of independence signed at second continental congress on July forth during the late 1776.colonialism is the use of a weaker countries resource to enrich and strengthen the stronger country. Imperialism is the when a country extend their rule over another country. The Atlantic slave trade was based on the selling of African slaves to the European traders. The slaves was labor on coffee, rice ,sugar and tobacco plantations. I personally was raised in Guyana which was ruled by Great Britain. We were slaves an had to worked on plantation from sunrise to sunset, beaten harshly an treated live dogs. We were paid little or no money and had no education only the white were allowed to educate their children. We gain our independence on February 23 1966. England was basically the boss for us ,we worked an manufactured the crops and they read it and get the income.
