Various connecting threads among these varied uprisings include a concern for the "Rights of Man" and freedom of the individual; an idea (often predicated on [[John Locke]] or [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]]) of [[popular sovereignty]]. '''Jean Jacques Rousseau along with other philosophers believe that support for equality and liberty in Europe can be done in the small states.'''<ref name=":1" /> '''Moreover, there were conflicting perspectives about popular sovereignty regarding slavery. [[Stephen A. Douglas]] and the Democratic Party promoted popular sovereignty in favor of the expansion of slavery in the U.S. [[Frederick Douglass]] believed that if Douglas stood up for women’s rights, the Southern white women would have the right to decide whether to put their black sisters under slavery or not.'''<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lynn |first=Joshua A. |date=2020 |title=Stephen Douglas's Enlightenment: Democracy, Race, and Rights in Civil War–Era Political Thought |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/764387 |journal=Civil War History |volume=66 |issue=3 |pages=272–294 |issn=1533-6271}}</ref> '''Other concerns about human rights and freedom include''' the belief in a "[[social contract]]", which in turn was often codified in written [[constitution]]s; a certain complex of religious convictions often associated with [[deism]] and characterized by veneration of reason; abhorrence of [[feudalism]] and often of [[monarchy]] itself. The Atlantic Revolutions also had many shared symbols, including the name "[[patriotism|Patriot]]" used by so many revolutionary groups; the slogan of "[[Liberty]]"; the [[Phrygian cap|liberty cap]]; [[Liberty (personification)|Lady Liberty or Marianne]]; the [[Liberty Tree|tree of liberty]] or [[liberty pole]], and so on.
