History

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Slaves revolted against France and its leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, to win their independence in 1804.

Explanation:

Haiti is an island country in Central America, on Hispaniola Island. Christopher Columbus discovered Hispaniola in 1492 during his first voyage towards India. After the island had been discovered and conquered, the Spaniards exploited the island for gold and converted almost all inhabitants into slaves.

In 1697, French hunters inhabited the western part of the island and built their settlements. By the time, the western part of Hispaniola became the richest colony in the 18th century as the French brought African slaves to work and produce sugar and other industrial goods.

But, the strong influence of the French Revolution resulted in the launching of the Haitian Slave Revolt against slavery and Napoleon’s government. After thirteen years of struggle, French forces were defeated on 1 January 1804 – when Haiti finally became an independent nation.

News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works, Paul H. Weaver (The Free Press, 1994).

Who Stole the News?: Why We Can’t Keep Up with What Happens in the World, Mort Rosenblum (John Wiley & Sons, 1993).

Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact in America, Cynthia Crossen (Simon & Schuster, 1994).

The U.S. press, like the U.S. government, is a corrupt and troubled institution. Corrupt not so much in the sense that it accepts bribes but in a systemic sense. It fails to do what it claims to do, what it should do, and what society expects it to do.

The news media and the government are entwined in a vicious circle of mutual manipulation, mythmaking, and self-interest. Journalists need crises to dramatize news, and government officials need to appear to be responding to crises. Too often, the crises are not really crises but joint fabrications. The two institutions have become so ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that the news media are unable to tell the public what is true and the government is unable to govern effectively. That is the thesis advanced by Paul H. Weaver, a former political scientist (at Harvard University), journalist (at Fortune magazine), and corporate communications executive (at Ford Motor Company), in his provocative analysis entitled News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works.
