Question

How does gabriel's rebellion compare to the uprising in saint domingue?

Answer 1

Both the Rebellion of Santo Domingo and the Rebellion of Gabriel were attempts to combat slavery, at a time very far from the true abolition of slavery in the world (two century away) in which slaves led by the young slave Gabriel, and in Santo Domingo, by the three leaders Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe, both fought for their freedom and their rights, in addition to fighting with the support of white people, who taking advantage of the Revolution French and the rising Rights of Man, gave freedom of the slaves. In the case of Gabriel, it is said that his rebellion could be so strong as to change history and end slavery 200 years earlier, but tragically he did not succeed and the slave Gabriel happened to be a case of exceptional rebellion.
