Haiti was a brutal, terrifying place for most slaves.
<span>Slavery was particularly harsh in Haiti, much harsher than in the USA. There were laws which defined what a slave owner could, and couldn't do to their slaves, but these were routinely ignored. </span>
<span>There are at least two documented cases of runaway slaves being captured, tied over a log, a funnel put up their backside, gunpowder poured in and then a fuse lit - all for the benefit of the other slaves - they were killed by being blown apart as a warning to the others. </span>
<span>The work was hard, life expectancy low and wives and children were routinely sold away from their husbands. The French even codified the degrees of "African-ness", down to 1 part per 128, that's someone's great-great-great-great-great-great grand parents, and what jobs and responsibilities they could have. </span>
<span>Then there were the maroons - escaped slaves who lived in the jungles and mountains - they occasionally raided plantations and even the towns, killing whites and taking slaves away with them. The Maroons became like the bogeyman to blacks and whites alike. </span>
<span>Then along comes the French Revolution, with it's promise of "Liberty, Fraternity and Equality", obviously the slaves believed that this meant them as well: it didn't. </span>
<span>The intellectual cause of the Haitian Revolution was the philosophies of the Enlightenment - specifically the same intellectual base as the French Revolution. Basically the cry "libertie egalitie fraternitie" does not qualify which kind of person should be free - so ALL men were considered brothers. This thought pervaded Haitian mulatto and freed slave society, and seemed to offer a genuine equality and freedom for all on the island. </span>
<span>The other intellectual driving force of the revolution is the individual intellect of those leaders who were able to motivate, to organise and to conduct military campaigns with skill and flair - the leaders, Christopher, Brenda and, of course, Toussaint L'Ouverture. </span><span />

1.What was causing people to leave Sandwich?
- Due to the Black Plague an extremely devastating pandemic of Bubonic plague that was peaking during the exact same era throughout all of Europe. The mortality rate was extremely high and it would end up killing a third of the population of Europe.
2. What are the two reasons listed in the document that explain why the government would want to keep the people in the town?
- The first is to avoid the spreading of the disease by the migration of infected individuals and/or groups. The second is to avoid the flight of capital and or people who were needed by the English realm in order to properly function.
3. Make a reasonable conclusion based on your knowledge from this unit and the reading and explain: What would be the long-term economic and social effects on Sandwich and England if people were allowed to leave?
- Had all people been allowed to leave, the whole town would have been deserted, probably never to be inhabited again. A good portion of its inhabitants might have fled to other parts of England, worsening the pandemic and the others would have gone to the France, were England was waging the Hundred Years’ War against the French. Since many of these people might have been infected, their presence in the English-controlled parts of France might worsen the already damaging pandemic and weaken the English war effort. For England the effect would have been overall destructive due to these reasons.
Answer:
known as separation of powers and insures checks and balances.
Explanation:
The government is divided into three branches to limit the powers of each. They created this so no one branch can exercise the core function of another, this prevents a concentration of powers.
