HIS 100 Project: Haitian Revolution Use this template to address the steps in your Project Guidelines and Rubric. Replace the bracketed text with your responses. Ensure that you have considered your instructor’s feedback when revising your work. Proofread the entire document before submitting. Part 1: Creating a Research Question 1. Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and values influenced your choice of topic. · [I have always loved learning about history and especially revolutions. The moments that lead up to them, the historical figures, key events and final outcomes. I wanted to pick a topic that I was not familiar with, as I have already learned about the Tulsa Massacre, Chernobyl, and the Founding of NATO. That led me to the Political Revolutions topic list, as I had not previously learned or knew anything about any of them. Haiti’s history has always intrigued me, and I felt that having no previous knowledge of the topic I chose would make for an informative selection for writing my papers. That would then prevent me from having any bias since there is no previous knowledge of the event there, I would go into writing my papers with a fresh and clear perspective. ] 2. Discuss the significance of your historical research question in relation to your current event. · [My historical research question was “How can we ensure protection of human rights to avoid violent revolutions and wars?” The connection between the Haitian Revolution and my research question is by fighting for freedom in a non-violent way and ensuring there are proper laws and regulations to stop history from repeating itself. This is not an 100% concrete solution, but it is a way to ensure that humans may live their lives as they should, free.]
3. Explain how you used sources to finalize your research question. · [ My primary sources were Encyclopaedia Brittanica’s article on the Haitian Revolution, and The Louverture Project’s Haitian Constitution. My secondary source was J.D Popkin’s article, “The Haitian Revolution comes of age: Ten years of new research.” Using the historical information from both my primary and secondary sources, it created more challenges for the validity of my research question and how to answer it. Observing and understanding the disadvantages that people fighting for freedom and democracy have to overcome makes it more difficult to find logical and effective solutions to prevent revolutions from occurring again. We may never be able to ensure that revolutions do not happen again, if evil takes place anywhere and at any time in history. But we may be able to minimize and reduce it immeasurably in comparison to how often they occurred at different points in history. Part 2: Building Context to Address Questions 1. Describe the context of your historical event that influenced your current event. · [ The historical context of Political Revolutions can be social or political. The social perspective can be used in almost any historical context or event that has happened in history as it is a broader perspective and most violent conflicts are human-caused and usually occur due to oppression of a certain group of people. It is also the political perspective as well, as the revolutions all occurred due to political reasons and examines the relationship between the people who have power and people who do not. As seen in the Haitian Revolution, the people who were oppressed by the French sought to revolt against the oppressors.]
