How was Dessalines’s leadership different from Louverture’s?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

<h2>Dessalines’s leadership:</h2>

<em>After defeating the french who wanted to retake Saint Dominique, Dessalines proclaimed the colonies independence, successfully creating the world's first nation of former slaves and the second independent country in the western hemisphere. He published a declaration of independence, abolishing the colony of saint Domingue forever. In the months following the haitian independence, Dessalines ordered the slaughter of the remaining french residents in Haiti to remove french presence in the colony and to make sure slavery could not be reinstated. Crowned emperor in october 1804.</em>

<h2>Louverture’s leadership:</h2>

<em>To win rebel support, the Spanish promised land and freedom to all rebel soldiers and their families. In early 1793, many rebel leaders joined the spanish army against the french. Under the spanish, a military leader named Toussaint Louverture rose to prominence, and later became one of the most prominent leaders of the revolution. He was a free black who was formerly part of the slave elite. Known for his military and strategic brilliance, his army grew to several thousand under the french.</em>

How does the author use paragraphs 30-31 to refine their ideas? Cite evidence in your answer.​
eimsori [14]

Answer:

From paragraphs 30-31, the author refines their idea of the Declaration of Independence by revealing that their call for independence was because they were being oppressed by the British and have made several petitions for redress in a humble way, appealed to them for justice but they were being turned down and even maltreated for it.

Therefore, they rise up to be free and separate from the British.

Below are evidences that supports my answer:

From Paragraph 30:

<em>"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."</em>

From Paragraph 31:

"<em>We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends</em>."

Explanation:

The paragraphs are part of "The Declaration of Independence" which was written by Thomas Jefferson by the consent of the committee. It stated the clear reasons the people of America sought for independence from the British. The tyranny and injustice from the Prince was unbearable so they needed to separate.
