What purpose's do shadows have?  These can be both positive and negative.

One more line...The Enlightenment and American Revolution.  What were the "Shadows" that Enlightenment thinkers were trying to wake up from? Enlightenment: The "shadow" that Enlightenment thinkers were trying to disprove was the dominance of traditional authority, superstition, and dogma over human thought and society. This dominance included the unquestioned authority of monarchs, religious institutions, and established hierarchies, which often limited individual freedoms and stifled intellectual progress.

Enlightenment thinkers sought to challenge these shadows by promoting reason, scientific inquiry, individualism, and the pursuit of knowledge based on empirical evidence and critical thinking. They advocated for the rights of individuals, including freedom of expression, religious tolerance, and the separation of church and state. By shedding light on the darkness of ignorance and tyranny, they aimed to illuminate the path toward a more rational, just, and enlightened society.
