Slavery Rebellion: The French Revolution And The Haitian Revolution

The Haitian revolution was from 1791 to 1804 and it happened when Saint-Domingue(Haiti) was under French rule therefore making it a French colony. Saint-Domingue was a very important colony for France due to its production of sugar as well as coffee. It was also a strategic point due to it being close to North America (Source C). This is why Napoleon Bonaparte’s plans to conquer North America as well as the West Indies and establish France and himself as dominant powers in Europe were centralised around Saint-Domingue (Source E).

The success and vigorous pursuit of freedom from oppression in the French Revolution inspired the Haitians to believe that they were capable of doing the same; the Haitians, being treated like animals, wanted their inherent rights. The overbearing French governing body had collapsed and the Third Estate was likely to receive a brighter future. The Haitians were still locked down as property and animals, but they craved to have the inherent rights that all men are privileged to. The French got their rights while the Haitians did not; this was quite the volatile scenario ready to fall off the self and spark revolution.

The Industrial Revolution was a long, slow, uneven process in which production shifted from simple hand tools to complex machines. The revolution began in 1750, in Great Britain, where many new sources of power began to replace humans and animals. It started with improved methods of farming, a population explosion, and new technology. It was a success and innovated many aspects of life. However, to get to all the good, the Industrial Revolution had to go through some bad.

A revolution is a journey to liberty and freedom, but often times, it is a necessity for man to partake in for any change to happen in a society where the majority of people are not content. In the late 18th century, the French and the Haitian revolutions coexisted, they both had many similarities and differences which both resulted in positive outcomes. After years of agitation against the monarchs, individuals in France were fed up with the unbalanced societal and political systems so they seized to change the government. Similarly but not identically, the Haitian Revolution was also caused by the frustration of the majority of their population, which were slaves, and their desires to gain freedom and rights. However, instead of focusing on social dynamics, and political changes in the French Revolution, eliminating slavery, discrimination, and gaining independence were the main goals of the Haitian Revolution. A successful revolution is represented when the outcomes directly reflect the initial goals of the revolution and lasting change is formed. These changes can range from economic, political, or radical social change as long as they are made to benefit a large portion of the population in a society in either long or short term. Although the Haitian and the French Revolutions had different levels of success, both revolutions can be proclaimed as successful because positive

The island country the world knows as Haiti, was originally a French colony named Saint Domingue, which came from the Spanish who were the first Europeans to settle the island. During the 16th century at the height of New World exploration and conquest Saint Domingue’s location served as an outpost for privateers who were hired to rob Spanish ships of their valuables in the name of France and Great Britain, for a short period even Holland participated in the thievery. The idea was to steal the valuables and good the Spanish had among the ships and give the majority of the profit and the rest could be split among the men. As with most great men and conquerors of the time corruption and greed often separated noble subjects of the crown and gave way to the common criminal. Piracy was an ideal solution for many of the men who decided to go rogue and become freelance criminals. The men were convinced by the French

Finally, Haiti got quite a bit of their motivation and reason for revolt from some of the Eighteenth century Enlightenment philosophers. These philosophers played a very big role in the development of many revolutions across the globe, including Haiti’s. “Throughout history, revolutions have started because of new ideas that change thinking and disrupt the status quo. The Haitian Revolution of 1789-1804 is no exception.”(Nicholson). The main philosopher that the Haitians took their ideas from is John Locke. Some of Locke’s ideas were previously unheard of, and started quite a debate when he published his books. These ideas gave people a new view on the way that things were seen all across the world, and gave people ideas they would have never had before. (“The Enlightenment”) “A government, he said, has an obligation to the people it governs. If a government fails its obligations or violates

Revolution have been a key part of both history and social change, but each one is unique in its beginnings and endings. In the American and Haitian Revolution both of the social societies were ruled by powerful nations who suppressed any form of independence. Both revolutions started with the growing tensions between the colonies and the nation that controlled the colonies. The ending of both revolutions caused the world to reanalyze the structure of governments and slavery. Although, similar in the aspect that both revolutions were based around gaining independence from dominant nations, the revolutions differed due to the colonies treatment by the controlling nations and the effects of their endings.

Having being told to focus my attention on other colleges has yet to cross my mind until as of late. The reason UMSL was a number one choice for me was simply their ranking of their criminal justice program. What is now being realized is that their rankings on other standards are not up to par. According to the Niche’s 2018 best colleges, the University of Missouri St. Louis is ranked number 216 out of 666 public universities in America (Niche). This ranking is based on the following, academics, diversity, athletics, party scene, and so on. What needs to be included is campus safety and security. As of late, UMSL’s campus standards have dissipated. That's what the following will be specifying on.

It was during the late half of the eighteenth century that would experience a series of turbulence across the Atlantic World. In a time that can be called an era of revolution, the Atlantic World faced a multitude of uprisings. The American Revolution in 1765 would be the start of the age of revolutions, and would later inspire the revolutions of other countries across the Atlantic, such as the French Revolution in 1789, the Haitian Revolution in 1791, and later the Latin American Revolutions during the early nineteenth century. The events of these revolutions created shockwaves across the Atlantic that would bring new developments that had a lasting impact on the world. However, since slavery was an integral part to what had transpired in

Many times throughout history, we can see the effects of independent thought. There was the revolt of the slaves in Rome led by Spartacus, The Zanj Rebellion in the Middle East, and The Civil War in the United States. However, The Haitian Revolution is one of the most effective and swift Slave revolts of all time. The causes of the Haitian Revolution were quite simple and was similar to any other kind of slave revolt. Many ideas carried around by slave traders at the time such as treating slaves as property, using social/racial classes, and oppressive control ultimately tipped the slaves over the edge. Ideas of independence also sparked the revolution, and one key inspiration to the cause was The French Revolution. This is not very

The Industrial Revolution is the name given to the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacturer. It brought three important changes: inventions of machines that simplify and speed up the work of hand tools, use of steam (and other power) versus human power, adoption of a factory system. Workers were brought together under one roof and were supplied machines. The Industrial Revolution began throughout the world relatively during the same time period, and although it had its beginning in remote times, it is still continuing in some places.

The Haitian Revolution was one of the most important slave revolts in Latin American history. It started a succession of other revolutionary wars in Latin America and ended both colonialism and imperialism in the Americas. The Haitian Revolution affected people from all social castes in Haiti including the indigenous natives, mestizos, mulattos and the Afro-Latin. The idea of starting a rebellion against France began with the colony’s white elite class seeking a capitalist market. These elites in the richest mining and plantation economies felt that the European governments were limiting their growth and restricting free trades. However, the Afro-Latin, mestizos and mulattos turned the Haitian Revolution into a war for equality and built a new state. The Haitian Revolution, with the support of it large slave population and lower class citizens, eliminated slavery and founded the Republic of Haiti. Tin this essay I will discuss how mestizos, mulattos and the Afro-Latin Americans population in Haiti participate in the fight for independence and how they creation of new republics.

There are fewer hotter and polarizing topics in the United States of America than health care. Healthcare is a modern favorite for news networks and reporters. From the controversy involving Martin Shkreli and price gouging in the pharmaceutical industry, to reports that Americans pay much higher rates than those in other developed Western nations.
