 \o\ THE FRENCH AND HAITIAN REVOLUTIONS, AND RESISTANCE TO SLAVERY IN THE AMERICAS : AN OVERVIEW par DAVID GEGGUS Built upon a foundation of bondage, inequality, and préjudice, the slave societies of the New World represented a complète négation of the ideals of the French Révolution. In few other societies can the concepts of liberty, equality, and fraternity hâve seemed so dangerous. More directly, it was the legislators of Revolutionary France who, in the decrees of 4 April 1792 and 4 February 1794, first brought racial equality and slave émancipation to the heartland of slaveowning America. The policy pursued thereafter by the French Republic of of fering libération to the non-whites of enemy colonies made real the Revolu- tion's threat to American slaveholders in gênerai. That the French Révolution took this path was in large measure due to developments in the colony of Saint Domingue. The révolution in Saint Domingue — called hère the Haitian Révolution — itself evolved out of a complex interaction with events in France, but far more than metropolitan groups or Enlightenment ideology, it was responsible for forcing the politicians in Paris belatedly to live up to their ideals when confronting the « colonial question ». In so doing, it posed an additional threat to New World slavery, presenting close to home a gory and destructive spectacle of self- liberation, first by the colony's free colored community, and then by its slaves. Their defeat of French, British, and Spanish armies, and their achievement of national indépendance in 1804, was an inflammatory example and object lesson How was the Haitian Revolution different from the American and French revolutions?The Haitian Revolution has been defined by violence, where the American and French Revolutions were defined by liberty and freedom. This is ironic since they Haitian Revolutionaries arguably were also fighting for freedom, but from slavery as opposed to an oppressive government.
How were the Haitian and American revolutions similar and different?Two of these nations, the United States and Haiti achieved independence through a mixture of warfare and diplomacy, with dynamic leadership also critical to their success. The difference between them was surrounding race, as Haitian slaves fought for freedom as well as independence.
What was the relationship between the American Revolution and the Haitian Revolution?Despite these differences, the revolutions did have some connections to each other. Several hundred free Black men from Haiti fought in the French military during the American Revolutionary War. Among them were men who became key revolutionaries in Haiti.
What made the Haitian Revolution uniquely different than the American Revolution?In addition to ending slavery and creating an independent country, the Haitian Revolution is unique for several other reasons. After the United States, Haiti was the second country in the New World that successfully cut ties with the country that originally owned it.
