1. Latin American Independence
Haitian Revolution
The Haitian Revolution was a slave revolt in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, which culminated in the elimination of slavery there and the founding of the Republic of Haiti. This took place in Haiti, Hispaniola, and
Saint- Domingue. The Haitian Revolution took place from
1791-1804! The Haitian Revolution was the result of a long struggle on the part of the slaves in the French colony of St.
Domingue, but was also propelled by the free Mulattoes who had long faced the trials of being denoted as semi-citizens.
Is significant because Haiti is the only country where slave freedom was taken by force, and marks the only successful slave revolt in modern time. The Haitian Revolution of 17891803 transformed French Saint Domingue, one of the most productive European colonies of its day, into an independent state run by former slaves and the descendants of slaves.

Latin American Independence

Imperialism
The Monroe
Doctrine was a U.S. foreign policy regarding European countries in 1823. It stated that further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression, requiring U.S. intervention. Monroe Doctrine took place in Congress on December 8, 1923. The Monroe
Doctrine was developed because the United States and Britain were concerned over the possibility of European colonial expansion in the Americas. Britain feared that Spain would attempt to reclaim its former colonies, which had recently gained independence. The Monroe Doctrine is a U.S. doctrine which, on December 2, 1823,

    The most important political reform in Haiti was without a doubt the Haitian Revolution which was led by Toussaint Louverture. The Haitian Revolution was a slave revolt that occurred 1791-1804. The country had a 5% white minority that owned thousands of slaves and most of the wealth on the island. There was large discrimination toward non-French people during this time and the Haitian slaves came together under a Haitian identity and revolted against the French slave owners starting the only slave revolt in history that led to the founding of a state.…

    The French Revolution is said to be one of the greatest revolutions in Western history. Indeed it was one of the first instances in History where the middle class protested against their government and actually won. Not only did they win, but they completely overthrew a monarchy and reformed their entire government. However, a similar revolution was taking place around the same time; this one with perhaps a more noble cause. In Haiti, slaves were also standing up to the leaders of their society and fighting for equal rights. While there are some major similarities and differences among these two revolts, the Haitian Revolution was more enlightened and fought for a more righteous cause.…

    Throughout the course of American history, the late 1700s and early 1800s were the main eras when the abolition of slavery was most rooted for. After the Haitian Revolution, in which the former state of Saint Domingue freed itself from the rule of the French colony, abolitionists around the world began to rise up and form organizations and societies to grant freedom to slaves. Although it was an informal and gradual process, anti-slavery movements were successful through votes in Congress, consistent petitions, passed laws, and published literature. Most interestingly, both whites and blacks were involved in the abolitionist movements, and believed that the use of slaves was destroying the unity of the nation. One of the earliest and most notable…

Many were cruelly over worked and under fed. Haiti also had a population of both free and enslaved mulattoes. Free mulattoes, however, had few right and were badly treated by the French. In 1791, a slave revolt exploded in northern Haiti. Under the able leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture, Haitians would fight for freedom and pave the way for throwing off French rule.…

    The Saint Domingue (modern Haiti) was a rich society of European colonies in the Caribbean that produced many goods such as sugar, coffee, and cotton. Their productions accounted for “almost one-third of France’s foreign trade” (P.501). Wealthy planters usually owned black slaves who normally toiled in the fields under brutal conditions. Many slaves ran away into the mountains to escape. By the late eighteenth century, Saint Domingue had a lot of maroon communities, which were groups of escaped slaves.…

    To begin with, it is worth noting to note that, politically, critical events such as the Haiti and the slave revolts inspired by the French and American Revolutions played a very substantial role in the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade . With regards to this, it is of absolute importance to note that the vital changes that brought the transatlantic trade to an end occurred not in Europe, but in the colonies where the slaves were put to work in the plantation system . Although the abolitionist movements in Britain, the USA, France and elsewhere were important, they played a secondary or auxiliary role to the struggles of the black slaves themselves . Thus, Political and social change inspired by the American and French Revolutions, stimulated both slave revolts and abolition movements alike, which often became inextricably linked with independence movements . The 1791 slave rising in…

    Haiti, known as Saint-Domingue before the revolution, it was the richest colony in the Americas in 1789. Almost half a million slaves toiled on its sugar, coffee, indigo, and cotton plantations. More than thirty thousand new African slaves arrived each year, both to replace the many that died of overwork or disease and also to fuel the rapid economic expansion that the colony experienced in the 1780s. Before the French revolution, the masters were, first of all, the King; after him, the nobles and clergy. From the King at the head to the poorest noble, they used their power badly. The rulers treated the ruled, the vast mass of the nation, as people created for their convenience, to supply them with money and to serve them. The King demanded great sums to provide armies for his wars, to surround himself with a brilliant and luxurious Court, to defray the expenses of government. As we go further in the French and Haitian revolution, they were both cruel and bloody, were there any significant similarities and differences? They both were spurred for similar reasons by oppressed people, but they were significantly different economically, very different leaders and events.…

    THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION: A VICTORY WITH NO SUCCESS THE HAITIAN The Revolution wrecked Haiti’s economy because it challenged the world as it was then. Slavery was the heart of a thriving system of merchant capitalism that profited Europe, devastated Africa, and propelled the expansion of the Americas. Independent Haiti had few friends. All the world's powers sided with France against the self-proclaimed Black Republic which declared it a haven for runaway slaves. Hemmed in by slave colonies, Haiti had only one non-colonized neighbor, the slaveholding United States; which refused to recognize Haiti’s independence for decades. The Haitian Revolution of 1789-1803 transformed French Saint Domingue, one of the most productive European colonies of its day, into an independent state run by former slaves and the descendants of slaves It produced the world's first examples of wholesale emancipation in a major slaveowning society, of colonial representation in a metropolitan assembly, and of full racial equality in a European colony. It occurred when the Atlantic slave trade was at its peak, and when slavery was an accepted institution from Canada to Chile. The slave revolt that between 1791 and 1793 laid waste the immensely wealthy colony was probably the largest and sole fully successful one there has ever been. Of all…
