Enlightenment (Blog-post #1)

The enlightenment period is an interesting time. It begins with a Restoration. The kings return after a long time of protestant rein in England. This period very closely resembles the 21st century. There is an uproar of creativity, such as: and increase in literacy, movies, lending libraries, shopping, music, and art. Also this time period brings on the "produce more, pay less" type of economy. England joins forces with Scotland and Whales and became known as Great Britain. What's so interesting about this is that so many good things started happening in England; cities flourished and there was an increase in civil power.
