Manorialism: New France In The 1800's

All the way back in the 800s, even before the world called it the 800s, a brand new political system, feudalism, arose. Popular in Europe, it very roughly revolved around the relationships and trading of land between the king and his lords in return for their service. Out of this new political system arose a whole new economical system– manorialism– which revolved around the lord's collecting peasants, called serfs, to create economy. Manorialism proved itself for the next 1000 years, until one of its only flaws, the growing wealthiness of the upper class, outweighed its benefits. All the tension that had built up during this time was released in an outpouring of rebellion, lasting only 10 years, 1% of the time it took to build that energy

The changes include; the Church, a major feudal land at the time, losing power and land and being redistributed to the middle classes, upper classes being terminated, France’s economy switching directly to capitalism, and many moral complications like social equality or slavery being resolved or beginning to be resolved. (Anushri, 2012) Though these reforms were important to France during the 1800’s, they were even more important to later countries who would adapt these reforms and grow to be some of the world's most powerful countries, such as the newly founded United States of America.

Out of all of the effects France experienced after their Revolution, the most

When the French Revolution began, the citizens of France knew they wanted to be treated as human beings just as the upper class was treated. However, they didn't know how to get there. First thinking it was primarily economical, the National Assembly abolished both manorialism and feudalism and allowed their citizens to recklessly tear down the feudalistic estates. France also took measures to establish new political and economical systems to replace manorialism and feudalism– capitalism and a constitutional monarchy. However, after realizing they solved almost nothing, the French government realized it wasn't having manorialism and feudalism themselves, but actually the relationship between the serfs and the lords that created the abuse they wanted to abolish. After defining the rights of what every government should provide their citizens with, France ended up laying the foundation for almost every other Western World country that would later be founded. Though it was important to France after the Revolution, it was absolutely vital to those countries, like the United States, who had the power to actually do something with those rights, such as creating an extremely potent democratic republic. Though this period in history exemplified how humans have a breaking point, it ended in providing us with the rights that we take for granted
