The Caribbean & Latin America: REVOLUTION and INDEPENDENCE

The revolution in the United States proved to be the first of a series of revolutions in the Americas that would lead to independence from France, Spain and Portugal. Each had its roots not only in the Enlightenment but in the revolutions that had already occurred. Just like the U.S. independence, the Haitian revolution proved to be an important cause of the revolutions in Latin America.

Making Connections Why do you feel the success of the American Colonial Revolution would encourage other oppressed peoples to stage their own revolutions?

The Haitian Revolution 1791-1804 Brought forth ideas of racial equality that proved threatening to the rest of the Americas, especially those regions that depended on slave labor. The revolution took place in the French colony of Saint Domingue, the eastern part of the island of Hispaniola. Produced sugar and provided two fifths of France’s overseas trade. Plantation economy that relied on slavery to keep its level of production high. On the eve of the revolution, the population of Haiti was divided by race, legally and socially.

Whites were a dominant group in society = 40,000 Whites were divided by class but equal in legal privileges. 30,000 free non-whites, linked by the legal & societal discrimination that they faced. Majority of the population consisted of 500,000 slaves. Ethnically they were diverse and the rights and privileges they had varied from plantation to plantation. In 1789, the French Revolution provided that catalyst for change in the colony.

In 1789, the whites were divided as the wealthy (grand blancs) tried to ensure continued dominance. The middle and lower classes (petit blancs) felt it was their right to rule and formed a National Guard to take action. The non-whites (gens de coleur) saw the revolution as their opportunity for equal rights. In 1790, the National Assembly in France granted them political rights. The whites were determined to prevent the implementation of this through their own organization and development of a colonial assembly.

In 1791, members of the gens de coleur organized an armed demonstration to demand their rights be granted. Leaders were seized and executed by the colonial government. The colony faced a series of revolts and riots across social and class lines. In August 1791, the slaves of the northern part of the island revolted. By November, nearly half of the slaves were in revolt. The goal was to rid the island of slavery and its white population.

The slaves developed and perfected their use of guerrilla warfare. In 1792, 6,000 French troops were dispatched to Saint Domingue to enforce French law and impose order on the colony. Instead, the fighting intensified as a number of groups battled against one another in a muddied civil war. In desperation, the French commissioner abolished slavery in 1793. While the French attempted to establish control, a leader of the slaves emerged: Toussant L’Ouverture.
