"The French revolution and those in North and South America have been transformed into founding myths
in their respective countries and are thought to mark the emergence of citizenship, of national economies,
of the very idea of the nation. But in their own time, the revolutions' lessons were inconclusive.... The
revolutions of the Americas began by drawing on ideas of [liberty and citizenship)...to redefine
sovereignty and power within imperial polities but ended up producing new states that shared world space
with reconfigured empires. The secession of states from the British, French, and Spanish empires did not
produce nations of equivalent citizens any more than it produced a world of equivalent nations.... Popular
sovereignty was far from the accepted norm in western Europe and within empires' spaces overseas it was
unclear whether the idea of (individual rights] would be a contagious proposition or one (restricted to) a
select few.... The nation had become an imaginable possibility in world politics. But the leaders of
[empires) did not want to limit their political compass to national boundaries."
