An economic revolution is defined as a change in the economic system of a society in terms of creation, expansion, and interaction. D’Augy’s quote “We have not brought half a million slaves from the coasts of Africa to make them into French citizens” in Document 3 is full of hatred and resentment towards slaves. D’Augy wants to convince people of the risks in recognizing the rights of slaves and treating slaves like French citizens. Furthermore, voodoo rituals mentioned in Document 5, where everyone “threw themselves on their knees and swore blindly to obey the orders of Boukman”, was an economic change since the slaves went from a life of passively working for their oppressors to actively attempting to overthrow their masters. These changes will soon be repeated in countries like the German Coast Uprising of 1811 in the United States.

The Haitian Revolution was not only influenced by the French Revolution as a whole, but also certain aspects of the revolution such as the ideals of the French Revolution, the change in government that occurred after the French Revolution had ended, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen that came about as a result of the France

The Haitian Revolution was distinctive, both in world history and in the history of Atlantic Revolutions, because it was the only completely successful slave revolt slowed revolutionary movements in Latin America. It was truly radical in that it either executed or forced the ruling elites to flee. 5) How were the Spanish American revolutions shaped by the American, French, and Haitian revolutions that happened earlier?

In Document A, there is a map showing the land Napoleon conquered for France, Napoleon and his military conquered a lot of land for France and it even explains in Document B that Napoleon conquered so much land because he wanted to eliminate the tyrants of other countries to better the lives of people under their rule. Napoleon cared about the happiness and well being of others.

The three main, or biggest causes of the French Revolution, were taxes, inequality, and lack of reform.

The American and French Revolution were both inspired by a desire for democracy, yet each occurred under different historical circumstances. Both sides had different goals but they also had similar goals. The Americans had little say in the government and wanted that to change that. They also wanted to get rid of taxation without representation. The French also wanted the three classes to have more equality.
