“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un

alienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government… Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient (temporary) causes… But when a long train of abuses… reduce them under absolute Despotism (abuse of power), it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Describe the white planters in the Haitian revolution and why they wanted a revolution
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

  By the fall of 1792, French troops had succeeded in regaining control of most of the island.  But the French and the whites in the colony were becoming increasingly divided among themselves about the French Revolution.  In France, the king, Louis XVI, was overthrown in August 1792, and a new, more radical assembly, the National Convention, was elected.  When this news reached Saint Domingue, it split the white population.  The radical revolutionaries in France sent a commissioner, Sonthonax, to take charge of the island, but most whites refused to obey him.  Sonthonax began to seek support among the free coloreds, insisting that they should have the same rights as whites.  In June 1793, white forces opposed to the Revolution and the granting of rights to people of color tried to seize control of the island’s main city, Cap Français.  Outnumbered, Sonthonax made a radical move:  he called on the black in surrectionaries to attack the city, promising that slaves who fought on the side of the Revolution would be freed.  This allowed him to defeat the whites, although Cap Français was burned down in the fighting.  In August 1793, Sonthonax extended his abolition decree to cover the entire slave population.

Althea de Puech Parham, ed., My Odyssey:  The first person account of a young white man from France who fought against the slave revolt.  He gives some interesting descriptions of the black fighters.

Madison Smartt Bell, All Souls’ Rising and Master of the Crossroads:  a novel series by a contemporary American author that gives a dramatic and fairly accurate picture of the Haitian Revolution.  Bell plans a third volume carrying the story down to the achievement of Haitian independence in 1804.

Oksanka [162]

Answer;

-Malnutrition, disease, and the failure to let go of traditional notions of class and labor.

The high mortality rate is explained primarily by malnutrition, disease, and the failure to let go of traditional notions of class and labor.

Explanation;

-The Virginia Company of London paid to transport servants across the Atlantic, but with the institution of the head right system in 1618, the company enticed planters and merchants to incur the cost with the promise of land.

-As a result, servants flooded into the colony, where they were greeted by deadly diseases and often-harsh conditions that killed a majority of newcomers and left the rest to the mercy of sometimes-cruel masters.
