Problems and Rumors  People of Haiti heard of the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen  “All men are born and remain free…”  French Gov. explain those rules do not apply to French colonies.  Already existing racial tensions mixed with incorrect rumors of freedom launched a slave rebellion.

The Revolution: Guerrilla Warfare  Guerrilla Warfare: the use of non-traditional war tactics. Typically “irregular” soldiers, normally motivated by a personal mission or ideology. Very dangerous, very little rules…  Willing to destroy your own country and land for your freedom  Haitian slaves were SO frustrated by the rumors and their social conditions, they fought against the whites  BURNED plantations, and mass murders

TOPIC common mistakes  TOPIC sentence: what will be the topic of your paragraph? Be more specific than your SPRITE category.  Good example: “The social causes for the French Revolution were centered around inequality.”  What’s the theme?  What’s the SPRITE category?  What specific issue will this entire paragraph be about?  What’s Wrong with this Example: “The French Revolution was caused by the social situations.”  What’s the theme?  What’s the SPRITE category?  What specific issue will this entire paragraph be about?

OPVL mistakes ORIGIN  Specifically mention which document you are using to prove your topic.  Examples of sentences earning points for Origin:  “Document 1 is a primary source.”  “The Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen was written by the National Assembly.”  “Document 1 was written in 1789.”  “The National Assembly wrote the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen in order to write equality into the government of France despite your social rank.” (O/P)

OPVL Mistake  PURPOSE: What was the PURPOSE of creating this document?  Good Examples:  “Document 1 was passed in an effort to get rid of the Estates General in France.”  “This Declaration’s purpose was to create equality in France.”  “The members of the National Assembly wanted to get rid of the three different estates.”  “The National Assembly wrote the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen in order to write equality into the government of France despite your social rank.” (O/P)

Value  DO NOT SUMMARIZE the document!! Tell me HOW the document matters or HOW this has impacted the people! Your value could/should take more than one sentence.  Good Examples:  “The Declaration reflects the frustration of the commoners just before the French Revolution. The call for sovereignty and equality before the law shows the injustices the third estate was experiencing previously. Since passing the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen, all the people of France were no longer distributed among three different estates, but now had equal opportunity.”  What’s wrong with this example:  “The peasant was on the bottom, which is how they viewed the poor, a nun was on her back and an aristocratic lady.”

Limitation  Identify the bias AND WHY THAT BIAS IS A PROBLEM.  Good Examples: “Document one was bias towards the commoners and was biased against the clergy and nobility because it only focuses on the commoners being over taxed and mistreated while the clergy and nobility were wealthy with equal rights.”  What’s wrong with this example:  “This document was bias to the commoners.”
