French+Revolution+Test+D2

The Haitian Revolution matched the anatomy of a revolution although not exactly fitting into the requirements. The moderate phase was when the classes began having conflicts; the whites wanted economic freedom. The free people of color wanted full rights, and slaves wanted freedom. Although no new government was made, they people started arguing and protesting. In the radical phase, the slaves began protesting and Sonthonax and Toussaint began to take over; Sonthonax trying to save the colony for France and Toussaint trying to gain country freedom. For the phase of terror, the slaves protested and began killing the slave owners and their family. Sonthonax began freeing slaves if they would fight. Later, all slaves were emancipated. Then France and Britain goes to war and France goes out. The whites are driven out, In the thermidor phase, Toussaint and Saint-Domingue get freedom. Toussaint is executed later, and that is part where the radicals get executed, imprisoned, etc. Although a military leader does not restore order, (Toussaint sort of fits into that) Saint-Domingue gained its freedom. The Declaration of the Right s of Man was written at a time (1789) when the 3rd estates were rebelling for freedom. Wanting to abolish the estates and make everything equal, they made this document. This was one of the first steps for France gaining equality among the people After analyzing and reading this document, I found the purpose and the consequences that happened as a result of this document.
