French+Revolution+Test+B2

The Haitian Revolution The Haitian Revolution started with a big bang skipping the moderate phase and going to the Radical Phase first. Unlike the French Revolution, which started with the moderate phase by trying to talk the problems out, the Haitian Revolution started with violence. The Maroons attacking the people with power was probably the starting point of the revolution. The 'radicals' then soon moved in to the phase of Terror. They terrorized the whites, the owners of plantations, by burning down the plantations and their homes with it. The Thermidor Phase was when stepped in the first president of Haiti, Jean Jacques Dessalines. Although in the Haitian revolution you can't distinguish the phases as well as you can some other revolutions, the Haitian Revolution still matches some aspects of the anatomy of a revolution.
