Answer:

Most people associate slavery with the American South. However, slaves were utilized in the Caribbean, as well as in all parts of the original colonies and territories that later became the United States. From the time Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, Caribbean Indians were enslaved to work in mines and on plantations. Later, the Spanish began importing African slaves to work the sugar plantations. Because sugar crops required quick processing to avoid spoilage, Caribbean slave life was much harsher than that of slaves in North America. Nineteen-hour days and harsh working conditions led to disease and high death rates. Rather than improve conditions, plantation owners simply increased the number of slaves they imported.

To what extent was the French Revolution influenced by the American Revolution
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The American Revolution greatly inspired the French Revolution because of their Declaration of Independence, successful revolution, and similar ideologies and causes.

Explanation:

The American Revolution's Declaration of Independence greatly inspired the French because it had the same Enlightenment ideologies that the French desired in their government system. This inspired the French to create the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in their revolution.

The fact that America had a successful revolution was also very inspiring to the French, as the French could now see that a revolt could be possible that completely transformed a country's government and society.

Lastly, the American Revolution had similar ideologies and causes with the French, which inspired the French revolt like America did. For example, both America and France wanted Enlightenment philosophy in their government systems, and they had similar causes like very unjust monarchies and unequal rights.
