The revolution is a defiantly a social revolution because they tend to be much more violent than political revolutions. What led the revolution was the violence that kept the energy in the people and also in the revolution. The possibility of transforming society is also linked to evolution. Meaning that new technologies would change the way the people thought early then. In fact, the more radical aspects are sometimes rolled back and the revolution reverts to its original aim, which was to abolish slavery in St.Donmingue. But as the Revolution carried on the goal was to make its own state.
The desire for a new society who are fighting for change created bloody uprisings. However support is needed from old, young, poor and women who are the minority. The following consequence is that they were ready to risk their lives for a change. Yet, people were scared of a counter revolution, which could have easily happen.
Haiti has a tropical climate, was used for trading goods, such as coffee, sugar and in the very beginning leather and smoked beef called Bucan... Pirates started investing in sugar and coffee plantations in 1700, which were thriving at both producing sugar and working people to death... Working on plantations was a brutal work for slaves...
The Haitian Revolution took many forms it took both non-violent and violent forms depending on where it took place. It was a social revolution.
Other than revolting they:
Supported slavery then a small population begn to protest.
1788 Société des Amis des Noirs (Society of the Friends of the Blacks) was formed
The rebels wanted a change for the slaves. What the wanted specifically in order to improve working conditions on the plantations was:
-better working conditions
- days of rest
- no more whip
- end of unfair treatment
The colonial economy was export driven, dominated by agriculture and trade. Thus, the colonial economy fueled the social imbalance that led to the revolution.
Haiti is an island and it's located between Cuba and Puerto Rico, and south of the Turks and Caicos.
Social stratification was based on inherited position rather than personal merits.
1. Big white planters, which owned most of the property. They were the white colonists (blancs)
2. Gens de couleur libres (which included light-skinned and dark-skinned blacks).
