1. Haitian Revolution
Leelerc’s veterans storm Ravine-a-Couleuvre (Snake Gulley) in 1802

2. Why did they start the revolution ?
I think the Haitian revolution slaves wanted to become free and free blacks also wanted their rights. I read in the text the success of American Revolution encouraged Haitian to try to gain freedom from their European masters. ( Chpt. 24 , pg. 682 )

3. Who were the people revolting against the government ?
I reasoned that the Haitians (enslaved & free blacks ) revolted against the French masters.
I read in Doc.1 “The white population defied an order from France to enfranchise free blacks, it triggered a violent revolt that involved changing alliances among free blacks and the large slave population.”

4. How Did They Fight in The Revolution ?
I argue the revolution fought dirty. The Haitians chopped people’s heads off, burned building, had cruel murders, & massacres.
I saw a photo in Doc.2 of a group Haitians chopping people heads off. I also in the text (Doc.3) “numerous have been the most cruel murders and massacres,--and numberless plantations, with the buildings and crops destroyed by fire.

5. What was the outcome of the revolution ?
I reasoned that the Haitians declared their independence and also created a constitution giving equal rights to all no matter what race or color.
I read in the text on January 1, 1804 General Dessalines declared the colony an independence. ( Chpt. 24 Pg. 682 )

6. How did other countries view the revolution
How did other countries view the revolution? Did the revolution have legacy or affect on others ?
I think they became free , but were treated badly .
I read in the Document 5 the Americans didn’t recognize Haitian Independence, and Americans also invaded Haitian territory. This shows a sign of disrespectfulness .
