Greetings class! Today we are going to use the world wide web to learn all about the Haitian Revolution. Please procede through this blog, follow links and answer the questions on the sheet was distributed to you at the beginning of class.
Ok, here's some brief background information.
In the Americas the legacies of the American and French Revolutions led to a new round of struggles for independence. News of revolutionary events in France destabilized the colonial regime in Saint Domingue (present-day Haiti) and resulted in the first successful slave revolution. In 1789, the colony of Saint Domingue was among the richest European colonies in the Americas. Its planations produced sugar, cotton, indigo, and coffee.
Today we'll learn what characteristics of Haiti made it ripe for revolution, how the revolution occured, who the major players in the revolution were and what the long effects of the revolution were.
