The major factor that led to the Haitian Revolution was the cruelty of slave owners towards their "possessions". The majority of the slaves endured starvation and harsh workdays that led to grave injuries and diseases, which remained untreated. Despite the efforts of the French goverment to supress the emerging rebellions by granting official citizenship to the most prominent of haitians, slavery ended up being abolished and the nation became ultimately independent.
The American and French revolutions were sparked by unfair leaders who belived themselves as beings with ultimate power. Socially, the Americans were mistreated in all aspects for being members of a colony, while the French struggled with the division of their society - consisting of nobles, the clergy and the common people. Economically, the Americans were charged unfeasable taxes, while the French citizenry dealt with the severe debt caused by the numerous, costly wars previously financed by the government.
While the American and French revolutions may differ economically, and somewhat socially, with the Haitian conflict, their political inconformity towards their unfair rulers remains a similarity that has been historically branded as the catalyzer of many, if not all, rebellions of that period of time.
