The revolt in Santo Domingo had an effect on France's plans in the United States is true.
American imperialism was done in the wake of a want of industrial boom.
Explanation:
IT is a repetitive pattern that countries often embark on imperialism when they have bustling industries and trade routes along with a good level of production but have bad living conditions for the people and are looking to increase their lifestyle value.
This is what happened in the late 19th century US which had prosperous businessmen but the common people were living lives in harsh conditions and had to suffer.
So, the people had an avenue in imperialism to have more profits and to extract the profits to improve their own lifestyles at home and this need made the backdrop of imperialism.
Much of what I know of Adams's views on the French Revolution as it was happening is in reading parts of his letters to Thomas Jefferson as they appear in the book John Adams, by David McCollough. Adams was not against the revolution so much as he was against the extreme violence and methods that he pretty much equated as indiscriminate murder. He differed with Jefferson in this, as Jefferson held that the executions of the aristocracy and heads of institutions that supported them were necessary and signaled to the world there was no going back. Both Adams and Jefferson lost French friends to the revolution. Adams was of the opinion that the FR was resulting in replacing the tyranny of the few with the tyranny of the majority and that the excesses of the committee would lead to catastrophy in the end. Consequently, Adams developed a less than cordial esteem for the the leaders, while retaining hope for the French people in general. He had no love for the French agents the committee sent to America to drum up popular support for France and against Great Britain. These people caused serious problems for Adams as president and contributed greatly to the split in friendship with Jefferson that lasted for years.
