These revolutions followed the American and French Revolutions, which had profound effects on the Spanish, Portuguese, and French colonies in the Americas. Haiti, a French slave colony, was the first to follow the United States to independence during the Haitian Revolution, which lasted from 1791 to 1804.
Most of the immediate effects were the end of Slavery, but this was superseded with Sharecroppers. Sharecropper’s were freed African-American’s who rented land from a old plantation owner, and the Owner got a share of the crops. This system kept African-American’s in poverty, not really improving their situation by much. Another was the Union Army during reconstruction garrisoning the old south. A little later, during the Spanish-American war, Confederates were allowed to join into the U.S. Army.
Hope this helped!
The federal government taxing is unfair to the states, and this should actually be given back to the states.
