I would say that President Thomas Jefferson would have desired the revolution to fail. On the one had, Saint Domingue independence from France was good news, for it debilitated the French. But on the other hand, the triumph of a slave revolution in the West Indies would set a dangerous precedent and could influence further slave revolts in the USA.

Jefferson - who was a slave owner himself - refused to recognize the negro government, rejecting diplomatic relations and even imposed an economic embargo on Saint Domingue in order to make the negro nation fail. Also, he had to face southern slave-holders reaction against the Saint Domingue in fear of similar outbreaks. Previous incidents like the Gabriel slave conspiracy in 1802 fueled this fear.

How do the economic effects of globalization on developing countries compare to those of developed countries?
skad [1K]

<em>Globalization</em> is a process that aspires to enlarge bussiness operations around the world, making use of technological advancements, as well as political and socioeconomic development.

On developed countries, it was proven beneficial as it led to economic growth. But on developing ones, it was harmful to their economy as the costs of it, outweighted the benefits. Although <em>free trade</em>* boosts opportunities for international trade, it also rises the risk of failure for smaller companies that cannot compete internationally.

*Free Trade: policy that erases discrimination against imports and exports.
