Atlantic history is a collective output of the most prominent moments in the history connecting at least two-thirds of all mankind in the world. Important aspects such as Columbus’ four voyages, exchange in Euro-American Enlightenment ideas, and Transatlantic revolutions helped the Western hegemonic faction of mankind to expand all throughout the world, with the Atlantic Ocean acting as their initial passage way to tons of other undiscovered habitats. Although the ocean itself can sometimes be said to just be an entire unilateral source of the ecological composition of the whole planet, with all oceans connected as one and dispersed chunks of land placed on top of it.
David Armitage in Three Concepts of History explains a nostalgic emphasis on why Atlantic history is quite fond of by those who once brought it to light, on one end of the social spectrum that is. The question is why is this kind of history so substantial as to be rendered as insightful information to the incline of the world systems? In the liberal sense, this category of research is emotionally viewed upon as deteriorating to the “moral” stature of Western education, at least in this current time. When studying Western civilization itself, the narration of the material will eventually follow up to the Atlantic exchanges that Western, capitalistic participants exhibited directly between North America and Europe, like my colleague Diana Tran explained. A racially homogenous barrier is placed upon the early study of Atlantic history, and liberal groups today are looking to edit some diminishing features that add up to the disproportionate mitigation of cultural groups brought into evaluation.
